Jacksonville Beach Pier Surf Guide
Jax Pier is located in Jacksonville Beach several blocks north of Beach Blvd. and is the area’s high-tide break. Various peaks off the pier serve to spread everyone out a bit, which is good, since this is one of North Florida's most aggressive lineups. Jax Pier has lefts and rights and works on all swells and conditions.
