Everyone knows about Supertubes, but what most don’t know is that a trip to the famed right point does not only consist of sessions screaming down a lined up “Supers’ wall. The point alone has several distinct sections (you will have a favourite by the time you leave!). Starting at Boneyards, Long Period swells marching up from the roaring 40’s thunder through Supertubes (the holy grail – watch where the locals paddle out at the Keyhole!) running through Car Park, Impossible’ s, Salad Bowls, Tubes, The Point and finally Albatross. There are a variety of ultra-consistent lava reef and beach breaks in the immediate area meaning that Jeffery’s Bay is no one-trick show pony. Magana Tubes and Kitchens are worlds class on their day and often quieter than the points. A 45-minute trip south takes you to Seal point and the rugged beach breaks of Cape St Francis or maybe, if you are lucky, a session at the mythical Bruce’s Beauties…
Travelling surfers who show respect and patience in the lineup will be rewarded. Hassling, drop-ins and back paddling will not be tolerated. Respect the locals - a universal law - fundamental to an enjoyable trip in these parts.
And after a day of mind-bending perfection…
$10 steak dinners! Cheap wine, Cheaper beer, “cheap cheap” but definitely not cheap n’ nasty! Watch the setting African sun tip perfect Trestlesesque A-frames at “Kitchen’s” (underrated surf spot!), whilst sipping your “insert beverage of choice” at Kitchens Window (great steaks too!) - no $25 cocktails here! Nina’s Real Food is a 5-minute stroll from the Super’s car park, a great place to grab a pre-surf coffee or a post-surf re-fuel.
