Jarawa Point - Andamans Surf Forecast Guide
Jarawa Point, located on the northern headland at Butler’s Bay in the Andaman Islands, is a surf spot that attracts surfers looking for reliable waves. The spot is named after one of the indigenous tribes in the area. While it’s not the most famous surf destination, its unique setting and wave conditions make it worth a visit for those chasing a good session.
The best conditions at Jarawa Point are found with a south (S) swell, which hits a rocky limestone shelf, creating fun waves that travel down the reef. The wave breaks left, providing some solid park walls with hits and shoulders. Most surfers can handle the waves here, as they typically start at around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and can get bigger, offering opportunities for a few cover-ups at larger sizes. The preferred wind for this spot comes from the north, making it a favorable choice on windy days, and it works well across all tide heights: low, mid, and high. It's an intermediate-friendly wave, so you’ll need some experience to take full advantage of its potential.
Jarawa Point generally handles swells from the south and southwest, making it quite specific in terms of what works best. The reef below adds an interesting touch, as it creates a stunning backdrop and perfectly shaped waves for a pleasant surfing experience. It’s worth noting that most waves here have good shape, so you can expect a decent ride regardless of the size. Just keep in mind that W swells don’t really hit the spot, so plan your sessions accordingly if you’re heading there.
