North Jetty (Lighthouse) is an advanced kitesurfing spot at the northern tip of Tybee Island, near the historic Tybee Lighthouse. This spot sits at the confluence of the Savannah River and the Atlantic Ocean, with a rock jetty marking the entrance to the shipping channel. Tidal currents are particularly strong in this area. The spot offers powerful conditions with current, waves, and wind, reserved for experienced riders. Spectacular views of the lighthouse and cargo ships entering Savannah port.
River-ocean confluence with very strong tidal currents. Chaotic waves and cross chop from the interaction of currents and waves. Conditions change with the tide. The Savannah shipping channel passes just to the north. Rough and unpredictable water, especially during tide changes.
