Right pointIntermediateMixed
Seal Point, Bruce's Beauties
The point east of Jeffreys Bay, the one The Endless Summer called Bruce's Beauties. Cape St Francis is Seal Point, a right that lines up when the swell has the angle, a village, a lighthouse. J-Bay is the next name west. This is not that Super Tubes takeoff.
When.
May to September
Southwest swell in winter. The point needs the right angle.
Worth knowing.
- 1. This is not Jeffreys Bay. Different town, different point, the same winter swell.
- 2. Seal Point is the look. You will know the size before you paddle.
- 3. Winter is the window. Summer is smaller, still a look, not why the film named it.
- 4. The village is Cape St Francis. Humansdorp is the shop run.
Go.
Before you paddle.
- 1. Check local conditions before entering
- 2. Always surf with a buddy
- 3. Know your limits and skill level
- 4. Watch for rip currents
- 5. Respect local surfers and rules
