THE SURF
Jeffreys Bay is a long right hand point made up of 5 different spots. On the outside is Magnatubes . When the swell is right this connects into Supertube s. It's called that for the simple reason that Supertubes it is hollow and allows the opportunity to set up for 3 or 4 barrels. The end section is Impossibles and the name says it all. The next peak is Tubes , not as long as Supers but certainly as hollow. Finally, the Point a gentler wave good for longboarding but still offering a great ride with some "go for it" sections. There are several other waves right in the area. Kitchen Windows downtown is fun and Alabatross can also provide some exciting sliders.

WHO WILL IT APPEAL TO?
Jeffreys Bay is a surfing destination like no other and Supertubes is rated as one of the top ten surfing spots in the world. A holiday filled with epic surf and the chance to see the big 5 in their natural habitat.
Experienced surfers will find a wide range of challenging waves from June to August. However, the swell that comes out of the South or South West starts reaching the coast from as early as April each year and many times the season has run until the end of September.
During the 'wave season' things get pretty crowded. The Billabong Pro, a World Championship Tour closes off Supertubes for 10 days in July. It is however, an awesome experience to watch the top surfers in the world pit their skills against each other at one of the best waves of the world.
People new to surfing and beginners are not restricted to the wave season and J-BAY will deliver suitable surf for newbies and beginnersis all year round.
