Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Jayaji?
Jayaji is a point break in Robertsport, Liberia, that mostly breaks left.
What swell works best at Jayaji?
Jayaji picks up swell from the S round to the WSW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the SSW. It starts working at around 1m and handles up to about 2.5m, with the sweet spot around 1.7 to 2.1m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at Jayaji?
A NE wind is dead offshore at Jayaji, and anything from the NNE round to the E keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 11am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
