Jacob's Bay is a surf spot located in a picturesque area known for its natural beauty. This place features a kelpy reef that tends to hold some decent peaks, especially during high tide. The vibe here is friendly and laid-back, making it a great place for surfers looking to enjoy a day on the water without the intense crowds often found at more popular spots. If you’re considering hitting the waves, keep in mind the overall conditions can vary, so check it out before paddling out.

The surf here is best with swells coming from the SouthWest, but it can also work with West swells. It's good for those who are intermediate surfers since it can handle swell sizes around 4 feet (about 1.2 meters). The waves break over an uneven reef, providing both left and right rides, but make sure to watch the tide—high tide is preferable for the best sessions. If the winds are coming from the East, it generally creates the best conditions for catching a few quality waves.

If you're willing to pay a fee, there’s also the option of checking out the smaller beachbreak at Swartriet Beach Resort nearby, which can be suitable if the main reef doesn’t look promising. Always a good plan to have a backup if the conditions change!
