Jacking Horse is a surf spot that offers some relief from the typical crowd scene. It's located on a reef that creates an easier righthander, which peaks up nicely as it turns the corner and faces northwest. While there's potential for a short left out the back, most surfers come here for the right. This spot has a laid-back vibe and can be a good option for those looking to escape busier areas.

The best conditions for surfing at Jacking Horse come with a northeast swell, but it can also handle swells coming from the north and southeast. The waves usually break over live coral and range in size from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) up to bigger sets. The ideal wind direction is southwest, and the spot works well across low, mid, and high tides. It's particularly good for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy a fun session with some decent waves.

For those just starting out, there's a section known as Little Pony which is suited for beginners. The availability of a proper paddling channel makes it easier to navigate around the lineup, making it a popular choice for surfers wanting to improve their skills without the hassle of heavy crowds.
