Area Info
Jeffreys Bay is an obvious choice for surfers, being Africa's surf capital and your ideal all-year surf destination. Plus there are perfect breaks in the area for all grades of surfers. Supertubes is the most famous break, and while not the ideal wave to surf unless you are very sure of yourself, it definitely is worth watching others rip their stuff. The annual Billabong Pro is held here every July which gives you the perfect opportunity to see world pros surfing at their best
Luckily for us and other wannabe surfers, “Kitchen Windows” is at the base of Island Vibe’s dune. This awesome right-hand beach break offers magnificent clean 2-4' waves and even at its smallest, is loads of fun. But when the surf is down this side we’ll always try and make a plan to shuttle you to other local breaks. Seal Point in St Francis is worth exploration as is Bruce’s - the legendary break of 'Endless Summer' fame
