Jici Beach
Edit spotAbout
Jici is a pretty standard beachbreak, usually gutless and backing off. Most people surf down by the bathrooms and parking lot. You might find a better sandbar if you walk north, or you might not.
Typhoon swell, depending on the direction, can make this spot come alive, and then close out, so you're probably better off finding a better break if it's hitting. Jici is good for beginners and a day at the beach not centered around surfing.
Additional Info:
Show up, park, and paddle out. It's a big beachbreak with random sandbars throughout the year depending on wind, waves, and tides. There's a rocky point at the south end of the beach, but it doesn't really hold a wave and actually tends to be sloppier down there than the sandbars to the north.
