Jeffreys Bay (JBay) is world-renowned as one of the best surfing destinations on the planet, attracting surfers from all over for its consistent waves and legendary breaks. Located along South Africaโs Eastern Cape, JBay is famous for its long, fast, and perfectly shaped right-hand point breaks, with Supertubes being the crown jewel. Supertubes offers a ride of up to 300 meters, ideal for experienced surfers looking to challenge themselves on the powerful, barreling waves.
The townโs subtropical climate ensures warm waters year-round, with the best surfing conditions typically from May to September when winter swells bring in bigger waves. JBay has a range of surf spots catering to different skill levels, including beginner-friendly breaks like Kitchen Windows and Point. For professionals, it hosts the annual World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour, where top surfers compete on the famous waves.
Beyond the surf, Jeffreys Bay offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle with surf shops, cafes, and a vibrant community of surfers. The townโs natural beauty, with sandy beaches, rocky outcrops, and an abundance of marine life, adds to the allure, making it a must-visit for surfers and beach lovers alike.
