Right pointIntermediateMixed
Supertubes, the J-Bay Open
A right that keeps going. Jeffreys Bay is the point people name when they talk about long walls in Africa. Supertubes is the section on the posters. The town is still a town. The wind will try to ruin the afternoon.
When.
May to September
Southwest swell in winter. Southeast wind is the offshore.

Worth knowing.
- 1. Supertubes is the main section. Boneyards, Impossibles, and Kitchen Windows are further along the same point.
- 2. Offshore southeast wind is the one you want. A west wind turns it into slop.
- 3. Winter is the window. A clean June or July morning is why people fly here.
