Joss Bay is Kent's main surf spot and has been a popular destination for surfers since the '60s. It features a mix of left and right peaks that break over sandbars and rock ledges, making it suitable for various skill levels. Located right by the beach, it offers a convenient car park for surfers looking to hit the waves. The vibe here is laid-back, and it often attracts both locals and visitors eager to catch some surf.

The surf at Joss Bay works best in strong north swells, but you can find rideable waves on windswell from different directions too. Ideal swell directions are northeast, with decent action also coming from the north and southwest. It handles swell sizes starting from 2ft (about 0.6 meters). When you head out, be ready for beach breaks that can get a bit rippy, especially around shallow reefs. The best conditions usually happen with west winds, and the spot can deliver good waves at low, mid, and high tide.

For those who enjoy a bit of variety, the spot offers a nice mix of wave types and directions. Whether you're looking to practice your turns or just looking for some fun waves, Joss Bay has something to offer. Just keep in mind it can get busy, especially on a good day, so be respectful and share the waves.
