Makka's surf guide

Makka's is a popular surf spot located in Yallahs, Jamaica. It’s known for its consistent left reef point break, which offers some of the longest rides on the south-east coast of the island. This spot typically picks up all east swells and handles sizable hurricane swells with ease. It can get crowded, particularly during contest times, but it also has a mellow local vibe most of the time. If you’re looking for a spot that requires a bit of paddling, Makka's might be the right choice for you.

The surf at Makka's really shines when the conditions align. It handles swells from 4ft (1.2m) to an impressive 20ft (6m), making it a playground for intermediate and expert surfers. The best wind direction is from the north, and it works well on low, mid, and high tides. The wave breaks primarily left over a reef, which can be a bit tricky, so be mindful of the reef when you're out there. If you catch the right Southeast swell, you can really enjoy some long, ripable rides. The winter months, especially from November to March, tend to offer the best conditions, but you can also find decent waves in the spring and autumn.

Access to Makka's is straightforward; you can park right there. While the crowd factor is typically low key, be aware that localism can sometimes be present. On days when it’s working, it’s a great spot for those looking to improve their skills or just enjoy some quality surf. Just remember to keep an eye on the reef, as it’s a potential hazard while you’re out riding those fun lefts.
