Ride the waves
with your tribe

Jeffreys Bay is a place that needs no introduction. A mecca for surfers from all over the world, it is home to the legendary J-Bay wave, a long right-hand point break that consistently delivers dreamlike rides. It’s the kind of wave that you only dream of until you finally see it peeling down the line in real life.

While its known for its legendary waves, there’s a softer side to it too. Nearby breaks make it accessible for different levels, and the surrounding coastline is raw and beautiful. The beach breaks in front of the lodge and around J-Bay are the perfect setup if you're chasing your first green wave.

Winter season (May to September): 4/3mm

Temperatures vary between 14–17°C in winter and 19–22°C in summer
Crowd factor
The beachbreaks in front of the surf house where the lessons take place are often very uncrowded. Jeffreys Bay can get crowded on good days but it's still one of the most uncrowded high quality breaks on the planet
Weather
In South Africa’s Eastern Cape, warm currents from the Indian Ocean meet cooler Southern Ocean swells. Summers are warm and breezy with plenty of sunshine, while winters stay mild with cooler mornings and consistent offshore winds
