About Jeffreys Bay
Jeffreys Bay is a town on the Eastern Cape coast of South Africa, west of the city of Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth). It is widely known for a long wave that runs along a rocky point at the edge of the town, breaking to the right as a surfer rides it towards the shore. The best-known section is usually said to be Supertubes, where the wave is often described as fast, curling over as it breaks. The point has several other named sections, including Boneyards, Impossibles and Tubes, and on good days one wave is said to carry a surfer through several of them over a long distance. The most reliable surf usually arrives in the southern winter, commonly from around May to September, when swells come in from the Southern Ocean. Jeffreys Bay has hosted professional surfing contests for decades.
