Description

Lockjoint - Swakopmund Lockjoint features powerful, hollow left-hand reef breaks over sharp coral and rocks. The waves are fast and sucky, ideal for experienced surfers. Best conditions occur at low to mid tide, with rising and falling tides enhancing the surf experience. Access is instant, located behind the rock groin on the main beach. Situated between the Pier and the Mole breakwater, Lockjoint is known for its fickle nature, making it essential to monitor conditions before paddling out. The spot is uncrowded during the week, attracting a few surfers on weekends. Be prepared for backwash as the tide rises, which can complicate take-offs. With its challenging waves and potential dangers like rips and rocks, Lockjoint is not recommended for beginners. Surfers should be confident in their skills to fully enjoy this thrilling surf destination.
