Surf spots at Jeffreys Bay
Kitchen Windows (near Main Beach)
This surf break is an excellent place to learn how to ride waves. It is a peak that breaks left and right.
Magna Tubes
There you’ll find fast powerful and classic waves, as good as anywhere else.
Boneyards
Boneyards is right next to Supers. You will be able to recognize it with ease, as it is the spot where the waves are breaking almost perfectly, but there are only one or two guys sitting out there. Don't be fooled, this is a locals only break and they take it as a serious offence if you as an outsider decide to surf there. Yeah, it may have the better wave, but that is the bonus of being a local at Jeffrey's Bay for quite some period of time.
Super Tubes
The waves here can get large (up to about 10 - 12 feet). This is the ultimate test of your surfing ability. It is very fast, powerful, very long and as the name suggests, getting tubed is the name of the game. Its suited only to people experienced in surfing. Super Tubes - the best!
Salad bowls
These waves a short en hollow. The water is quite shallow so this place is reserved for experienced surfers.
Tubes
This is a short, perfect hollow wave. Once you master Tubes, you can surf Super Tubes.
Point
The Point is 100% enjoyable with cutback sections and everything else you could possibly want from a wave. The waves there tend to be a little smaller than those at Boneyards and Supers. The difference is, that you will have a much longer ride here than at the other two.
Albatross (near Kabeljous Caravan Park)
A wave in the same class as Point and mostly uncrowded.
Surf spots at St. Francis Bay
Next to Jeffreys Bay you will find St. Francis Bay. This little surf town is only a short drive away and definitely worth the visit!
Anne’s Avenue
This beach-break has a hollow, fast, and ledgy wave and is very consistent. To surf these waters, you better have some surfing experience.
Bruce’s Beauties
A century ago, a guy called Bruce went to search the perfect wave, there is where he found it. Bruce’s Beauties has the A-class wave, just as Super Tubes. It has a very fast, powerful, and hollow wave. This is where you can see the masters at work. Only down-side, it is very inconsistent and breaks only a few days a year.
Seal Point
A bit further, you’ll find a spot for all surfers, called Seals Point. The waves are less hollow as Bruce’s but on a good day, they can offer a long ride.
Huletts
Huletts is situated between Bruce’s Beauties and Anne’s Avenue. It is appropriate for surfers of all levels. If you master Huletts, you could give Bruce’s a try.
Food
During this holiday, the surf guide will arrange daily breakfast, as well as two traditional braai dinners. South Africa’s tap water is one of the safest and cleanest in the world. In hotels, restaurants, and nightspots, the standards of hygiene and food preparation are generally high. It is safe to eat fresh fruit and salads and to put as much ice as you like in your drinks - a good thing, too, after a day on the beach or in the bush. Restaurants cover a wide variety of cuisines and visitors are normally very impressed with the food. The country’s diverse culture makes for varied traditional foods, which are worth exploring.
The following meals are included:
- Breakfast
- Dinner
