Back Jimmys

Back Jimmys is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its challenging access and fickle nature, as it only breaks on a big swell. To check if it’s breaking, you can look out into the bay. The waves here provide both left and right directions, making it a versatile spot for experienced surfers. The bottom is sandy, and the best conditions are during low and medium tides. The quality of the waves is considered world-class, but it’s important to note that this spot is suitable for pros due to its challenging nature. The waves can range from 50 to 150 meters in length, and the spot is typically uncrowded. Nearby surf spots include Hawks Nest, Boulders, Zenith Beach, Box Beach, and Fingal Spit. To reach Back Jimmys, you can either boat around from the jetties at Tea Gardens or walk from Jimmys and paddle across the river, which takes more than 20 minutes. When planning your surf session, be sure to check the surf forecast, report, and map for the latest conditions. Always be mindful of surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots, and check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
