Jackson Creek, located in the Andaman Islands, offers surfers a unique spot tucked inside a large headland. This area provides a safe anchorage while being surrounded by a reef that can catch some solid swells. Although it's not the most popular destination, it has its own charm, especially for those looking to escape the usual crowded spots. Just be ready to deal with a few mosquitoes and some occasional fishing boats.

This spot breaks a nice left over a live coral reef and can handle swells as small as 2 feet (about 0.6 meters). The optimal swell direction is from the west, but it can also pick up swells from the south and northwest. Conditions are best when the wind is southeast, which helps to keep the waves clean. Jackson Creek is suitable for intermediate surfers. The waves tend to be a bit inconsistent, so it's important to check the swell before heading out. The best action happens during low to mid tide, though it can also work at high tide.

While the surf can be hit or miss, the setting is pretty nice, and with the right conditions, Jackson Creek can deliver some fun rides. Just keep an eye on the weather and be prepared for some waiting around for the right waves to hit.
