Dubbed as Africa’s surf capital, the J-Bay offers an all year round over the top surf breaks for all levels of surfing. It is divided into several sections with “super-tubes”, the most famous of them which breaks at 984 ft/300 m or more with large wave sizes, wide-breaking waves and even swells. Super-tubes are mostly recommended for advanced and professional surfers.
For the novice surfer, the “Kitchen Window” is more accommodating with right hand beach break at 2-4 ft/0.6-1.2 m. Consistent waves can be observed during the months of May to mid September, although good waves can also be occasionally cited other times of the year.
