Jeffreys Bay (J-Bay)

Jeffreys Bay, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Home of Supertubes, one of the best right-hand point breaks in the world: long, fast and hollow. It's for experienced surfers only; learners use the gentler beach further down the bay.

Swell and wind

This is the swell out at sea, not the surf on the beach. How big it breaks here depends on the swell’s direction and period, the sea floor and the tide. Check a surf report for the size.

Swell: 1.2 m (4 ft) from the S, 7 s period (windswell), out at sea
Wind: Light cross-shore, 9 km/h (5 knots) from the NW
Water: 20°C (67°F). Wear a springsuit (or a thin steamer).
