Jupiter Inlet is where the Loxahatchee River meets the Atlantic. The south jetty is the primary surf break, with two sandbars running parallel between the inlet and Juno Pier. When a big NE swell is running, the right wraps in toward the jetty, bending like a pointbreak with hollow sections. Consistently produces bigger waves than surrounding beach breaks.
