Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Check the reef configuration before going out.
There is a channel on the left side of ths spot, along the pier.
Don't go too far north (syrian camp), they will ask you to live !
After the surf, have a drink at Akif's place (the red Coca-cola small cafe).
Akif will also keep your car and your belongings. On top of that he will offer you a cofee !
Give him 3 000 LL (2 $) for parking fees when you live.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Nobody is surfing there, except one local, Mustapha.
He lives in front of the spot. He is fed up of surfing alone !
This guy learn by himself and has no equipment, except the board I gave him when I left.
When you are in Beyrouth check the swell size at Ramneit el Baida (the beach close to the Summerland, south of Beyrouth).
Double this size and you get a figure of what you can expect at Jyé. |
| |
General |
One of the best spot of the country. Nice surroundings.
In summer, if it is flat, check Bamboo bay and Jonas private beaches (but you can walk by the sea front 15 mn from Akif's).
It's south of Jyé. Anyway, don't miss the beach parties on saturday night at Bamboo (from june to september). |
