About Jimmies Right

Jimmies Right is a barrel machine, that throws up some of the biggest barrels around. The take off is heavy and full commitment is need to make the drop as the wave walls out in front of you, and a prompt line into the barrel is needed to navigate the first section. From here you will want to keep your line and head for the exit, hopefully making it and pulling off the back before the waves closes out on the dry end section.

Best Conditions for Jimmies Right

Jimmies right needs a large SW swell and an even larger S swell to navigate the headland and get into this little nook. A high tide is needed to cover the shallow reef and offshore winds from the N – NE. This spot prefers the off season winds so it makes it a little fickle to get a large swell, high tides and off season winds.

Getting in and out at Jimmies Right

Get in and out by paddling around the reef in the channel to the south. Be careful of the shallow reef when straightening out here.

Getting to Jimmies Right
