Jailbreak is a fast, sectiony left-hand reef break that peels in front of the jail it's named after, sitting at the opposite end of the reef from Logs. Further east, Narimo Island, also known as Twin Rocks, offers fun lefts and rights that wrap around the little island.
When It Works
The wave breaks left over dead coral and pulls in swell from the northwest through to the northeast (NW-NE), with northeast (NE) the direction to look for. It works from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft. Consistency is moderate, so you get worthwhile windows when the swell lines up rather than surf on every check.
Wind and Tide
The offshore wind comes from the southwest (SW). Jailbreak can work through most of the tide, across low, mid, and high, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This is a fast, sectioning wall best left to expert surfers who can handle a quick reef left. The lineup tends to stay fairly quiet.
