KITCHEN WINDOWS
Situated on Main Beach, Kitchens is a mellow reef break that is an underrated wave. A light SW wind is best on a mid tide. As soon as the wind picks up, the spray starts feeling like buck shot. Kitchens is the home break for kids from Pellsrus, a poor community on the edge of J’Bay. Surfing is giving these kids an opportunity in life.
MAGNATUBES
Seen from the balcony’s at the backpacker, Magna’s is a great little right point a stones throw from Boneyards. A quick takeoff over a shallow rock shelf shoots you into a barrel section or a perfect wall for a carve. Shallow fast wave that can PUMP on its day.
BONEYARDS
Also seen from African Ubuntu’s balcony’s,Boneyards also known as the Yard in Jeffreys Bay is right at the top of the whole point.Heavy, deep at the take off and shallow as it hits the shelf is what you will have to deal with if you want to tackle this beast of a wave.Loves to eat your boards and unwanted trips to the reef are not uncommon.
SUPERTUBES
This is the best wave in town. Also the busiest and the most localized. Sometimes linking up with Boneyards and running through Tubes and past Point this wave is something to see as it runs the 1.5KM down the point. Very shallow, hollow and a difficult entry and exit makes this a wave for the experienced surfer.Remember as this is one of the more localized waves in town manners and good etiquette go a long way to having a great surf.
TUBES
Not as heavy as Supers but steeper than Point makes this a good intermediate to pro level wave.On the right tide and conditions you will have to handle a steep take off and pull into a barrel that will run down the shelf towards the Point.
POINT
Point was the wave that people traveled to J-Bay for for many years back in the 60’s and early 70’s. A wave for all surfers. Easy take offs, long walls, the odd barrel section and easy to get in and out of the water. A great place to get use to the vibe in town.
ALBATROSS
One of the uncrowded breaks in J’Bay. Slightly out of town, the wave works best on a NW wind and a low tide. Can get epic but usually better somewhere else. It needs the right combination of wind, tide and swell direction to get it good.
SURFING ETIQUETTE
Surfing Etiquetteis the most important thing to learn before you set foot in the surf.
These rules are not so much “rules” as they are a proper code of conduct designed to keep everyone in the water safe and happy. People who repeatedly break these rules are often given the stink-eye, a stern talking to, yelled at with obscenities, or just flat out beat up.
Don’t worry, if you accidentally drop in on someone they aren’t going to beat you up. However, there are rules of the road out there and this is the real world. If you’re constantly stealing waves or not being respectful, you’re going to have a run in.
With the growing popularity of surfing, the number of people in the water is on the rise and unfortunately surfing etiquette is gradually eroding away. The ocean is a dangerous place, and without proper thought to safety it can become deadly.
New surfers should memorize these rules, and even veterans should take a refresher course now and then.
WEATHER & SURF SEASONS IN JBAY
South Africa is famous for its sunshine. It’s a relatively dry country, with an average annual rainfall of about 464mm (compared to a world average of about 860mm). While the Western Cape gets most of its rainfall in winter, the rest of the country is generally a summer-rainfall region.
SUMMER
PEAK TOURIST SEASON
Over much of South Africa, summer (mid-November to mid-February) is characterised by hot, sunny weather – often with afternoon thunderstorms that clear quickly, leaving a warm, earthy, uniquely African smell in the air. The Western Cape, with its Mediterranean climate, is the exception, getting its rain in winter.
AUTUMN
Autumn (fall) in South Africa (mid-February to April) offers in some ways the best weather. Very little rain falls over the whole country, and it is warm but not too hot, getting colder as the season progresses. In Cape Town, autumn is fantastic, with hot sunny days and warm, balmy nights which many people spend at outdoor cafés.
WINTER
PEAK EAST COAST SURF SEASON
Winter in South Africa (May to July) is characterised in the higher-lying areas of the interior plateau by dry, sunny, crisp days and cold nights. So it’s a good idea to bring warm clothes. The Western Cape gets most of its rain in winter, with quite a few days of cloudy, rainy weather. However, these are always interspersed with wonderful days to rival the best of a British summer. The high mountains of the Cape and the Drakensberg in KwaZulu-Natal usually get snow in winter.
SPRING
Nowhere in South Africa is spring (August to mid-October) more spectacular than in the Cape provinces. Here the grey winter is forgotten as thousands of small, otherwise insignificant plants cover the plains in an iridescent carpet of flowers.The journey to see the flowers of the Namaqualand in the Western and Northern Cape is an annual pilgrimage for many South Africans.
OUR GUESTS LOVE US
What our guests are saying about us
I absolutely loved this place. The staff made us feel at home as soon as we got there, the room was clean and comfy, there’s free breakfast for everyone and it is located right next to the beach. We were meant to stay there a night or two, we ended up staying for the week (plus, you get the seventh night for free!). We’ll be back 🙂
From the first minute on I felt like home, that was the reason why I ended up from checking in for two days extending to one week. It has a nice garden area where we used to chill out after the surf sessions and next door is Amo’s coffee shop, where I got my coffee every morning. I will definitely go back there!
I stayed almost 10 days, I had a great time. Nice and friendly people, good location – especially during the evening it was awesome just to sit outside, have some beers and watch the ocean. I l’ll be Back!
