Juno Pier

Juno Pier is a surf spot located in Atlantic Coast, Florida. The spot provides both left and right waves. Juno Pier is situated in Juno Beach, a town in Palm Beach County. The pier extends 990 feet into the Atlantic Ocean, creating reliable sandbars on both sides that contribute to wave formation. Waves here can range from waist-high to overhead, with optimal conditions typically occurring during fall through spring, especially during hurricane and nor’easter swells. The spot has a sand and rock bottom, and works best on medium to high tides. It’s suitable for intermediate surfers and offers regular wave frequency. Wave length is typically less than 50m. Juno Pier can handle swells from the northeast, north, and southeast. The spot often experiences few surfers, but it can get crowded, particularly on weekends and holidays. When it’s big, the crowd tends to thin out. It’s important to check the surf forecast and report before heading out. Be aware of potential hazards such as man-made dangers like buoys, and the presence of sharks. Localism can be an issue, so respect the locals and follow surf etiquette, especially when the spot is busy. Check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Public access is available, with parking at the pier. 4×4 vehicles can be used. Nearby surf spots include Jupiter Inlet, Pump House, Reef Road, Stumps, and Lake Worth Pier. The area also features amenities like restrooms, showers, and picnic areas with grills. The Loggerhead Marinelife Center, a sea turtle rehabilitation and research facility, is located nearby. Historically, during World War II, German U-boats patrolled this coastline, and a beach patrol was formed to watch for potential enemy activity. Today, Juno Pier offers a consistent surfing experience for those looking to catch some waves on Florida’s Atlantic Coast.
