North Jetty sits on the north side of the St. Johns River inlet at Huguenot Park, where a semi-permanent sandbar creates a deep, hollow channel with a dry-hair paddle out. The main waves are a short, hollow right breaking toward the jetty and a longer, bowling left peeling away from it. Handles waves up to triple overhead and is one of NE Florida's most powerful setups.
