Jersey - Petit Port
Edit SpotAbout
When the autumn swells hit it can be awesome with 3 metre plus rideable waves
Atmosphere:
Jersey is the major surf spot of the Channel Islands, but it has the crowds to go with it, for enjoyment nearby Normandy and Brittany beaches in France would prove more interesting to the dedicated surfer without the crowds. Summer can have long flat spells
Additional Info:
The reef looks a lot worse than it actually is. The right handers are normally the better shaped side to the wave. Choose a neap tide, works best on a 2 metre swell, try the low water bowl if you feel daring.
