Jobo's surf guide

Jobo's is a popular surf spot on Puerto Rico's North Coast, known for its consistent waves and laid-back vibe. This beach break features a mix of sand and an uneven reef, making it suitable for different surfing styles. With easy access right off the beach, you can park nearby and get in the water quickly. However, be prepared for some crowds as this place attracts both locals and visitors.

The surf here mainly breaks right, with the wave starting near a small rock headland at the eastern end of the beach. It has speedy walls and can handle swell sizes from about 3 feet (0.9 meters) up to 7 feet (2.1 meters). The wave breaks over the reef, but there are sandy sections inside that make for a quick recovery if you wipe out. If you're looking to ride lefts, there's a decent one in the middle of the beach, along with a few scattered peaks further down. The best conditions typically occur with north to northeast swells, while southeast or south winds are preferable. Low to mid tide works best here, but it's surfable at high tide too. You'll find waves that cater to various skill levels, from beginners to more experienced surfers.

One of the things to watch out for at Jobo's is the local vibe. While it’s a fun place to surf, you might feel the crowd factor, so showing respect is key. Just remember, the bottom isn't super forgiving. If you hit the reef, you could end up with some urchin spines or grazes, so be cautious. The best time to catch waves here is during the late summer and fall for tropical swells or fall through early spring for some consistent action.
