Jax Beach Pier surf guide

Jax Beach Pier is a surf spot located in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. It caters to surfers looking for a fun day out on the water. This spot can have varying conditions depending on the swell and tide but offers access and parking options to suit different needs. It's a popular place for both locals and visitors, especially during the season.

When it comes to the surf here, the optimal swell direction is from the Northeast. On a N/NE swell, the pier can produce long lefts on the south side along with some shorter rights. The north side tends to be less crowded but can also hold waves, so it's worth checking out if you want some space. The waves break over sand, making it suitable for beginner surfers. It manages to handle swell sizes down to 1ft (about 0.3 meters) and works well during low, mid, and high tides. The preferred wind direction is from the Southwest, which can help shape the waves nicely. There's also a chance for some occasional barrels if the conditions align right.

Parking is relatively convenient with options north and south of the main lot in front of the pier. There's a mix of local surfers out in the water, and while it can get crowded, you might find some good vibes out here. Just keep an eye out for other surfers and enjoy your session.
