Jeffrey’s Bay

Jeffrey’s Bay

Eastern Cape, South Africa

Surf Session Point Jeffreys Bay J-Bay offers some of the most consistent waves on the planet. Located some 600 Km west of Cape Town, in Eastern Cape Province, J-Bay is near some of South Africa's wildest coastline. Inland is some of Africa's most spectacular rainforest, complete with beautiful animals. Not long ago this was a sleepy town, but now J-Bay sports round-the-clock development with low-rise apartments (you could live and surf here), beachside resorts, and dozens of cafes. Ask any local, though, and they'll tell you J-Bay is a surf town. Relaxed and friendly, even the rich and famous want a piece of the action. Along the coast you will spot some worldclass surfers mansions to grace a beach. The beauty continues all the way down to the break at Cape St. Francis, immortalized by the 1960's movie "Endless Summer". And if you want to see the pros in action, come in July during the world famous Billabong Pro. It's held at "Supertubes" beach. The top pros have called Supertubes the most perfect and predictable wave in the world. Best time to go in between the end of May and the end of August.Many are making J-Bay a summer vacation destination because there is much to do around the Jeffreys Bay area.
