The Wave
Use Jacmel as a rocky point read rather than a beach-day guarantee: SE swell and north wind are the cleanest pairing, and low, mid, or high water can work if the sections are lining up.
Surf GuideJacmel Bay
Jacmel
Jacmel is Haiti's south-coast surf-town marker: an exposed bay point near the country's art-and-carnival capital, with empty lefts and rights when a southeast pulse reaches the rocks. It is not a polished resort surf scene; the draw is warm water, local surf-school energy, and a point setup that can turn long and fun without much crowd pressure. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Jacmel in Jacmel Bay.

Lineup Guide
The Pistons/point access is public with a short walk, but rocks, awkward lower-tide footing, and Haiti's variable road-and-security logistics deserve a fresh check before committing.
