Surf Camp - Jeffreys Bay

Introduction to Surf Camp - Jeffreys Bay

We welcome you into the relaxed, laid-back, home-away-from-home setting of the surf camp at Jefferies Bay, South Africa. Absorb at leisure the front garden of sandy beaches, rock pools, dolphins, collector's seashells, and superior waves from the comforts of the lounge, balcony and even the kitchen. Wake up to the sound of waves pounding the shore, a fresh sea breeze revitalising the travel weary body, stirring within the anticipation of a "dream day" of surf.

The rooms at the surf camp are un-crowded, clean and serviced daily, with linen and duvets included which are regularly changed for those who stay on for longer periods and obviously at all times when a bed is vacated. No smoking is allowed anywhere in the house.

There are three types of accommodation including the Seaside dorm- shared accommodation, the surf guest house, accommodation in double/ twin rooms and the Penthouse suite which can sleep up to 4.

Beside surfing, J-Bay offers a variety of activities. Down town you can pay a visit to several factory shops offering quality clothes for very interesting prices or to the Surf Museum, the Pinguin Rehab Center, the Shark Aquarium , board shape factories, etc… There are a number of small nature reserves and game parks in the area, such as Lombardine Game Park, Sea View Lion Park, where you get the chance pet the lion cubs while they are still small and harmless and Tisitsikamma National Park. Adventures Jeffreys Bay offers Sand boarding, Horse Trail, Mountain and Quad Biking..As you can see, the opportunities are endless. Available on request - Photoshoot,Worlds highest bungee jump, Beach Horse rides and Sandboarding

Food and Drink

Wake up with the morning sun, have a early surfing session before having a delicious breakfast in the a la carte restaurant, surf the best waves during the day and watch the dolphins use the ‘supertubes’ as their playground, visite the local shops and board shape factories and have dinner in the in-house sushi bar before you watch the sun set on the water…. Endless Summers, that’s what its all about!

In the basement of ‘African Perfection’ Guest house you find a restaurant and sushi bar called ‘twenty pepper street’. Here, the menu offers a wide diversity of meals; from a continental breakfast to the best sushi, prepared by the singing cook ‘Steve Walsh’ and his well trained staff.

Surfing at Surf Camp - Jeffreys Bay

Jeffreys Bay is world-reknowned for Supertubes and its many different surf breaks, each possessing its own magic.

Jeffreys Bay is world-renowned for its many different surf breaks, each possessing its own magic:

  1. Kitchen Windows (near Main Beach): This surf break is an excellent place to learn how to ride waves. It is a peak that breaks left and right
  2. Magna Tubes: Here you’ll find fast powerful and classic waves, as good as anywhere else
  3. Boneyards: Boneyards is right next to Supers. You will be able to recognize it with ease, as it is the spot where the waves are breaking almost perfectly, but there are only one or two guys sitting out there.Don't be fooled, this is a locals only break and they take it as a serious offence if you as an outsider decide to surf there. Yeah, it may have the better wave, but that is the bonus of being a local at Jeffrey's Bay for quite some period of time
  4. Super Tubes: The waves here can get large ( up to about 10 - 12 feet). This is the ultimate test of your surfing ability. It is very fast, powerful, very long and as the name suggests, getting tubed is the name of the game. Its suited only to people experienced in surfing. Super Tubes - the best!
  5. Salad bowls: These waves a short en hollow. The water is quite shallow so this place is reserved for experienced surfers
  6. Tubes: This is a short, perfect hollow wave. Once you master Tubes, you can surf Super Tubes
  7. Point: The Point is 100% enjoyable with cutback sections and everything else you could possibly want from a wave. The waves here tend to be a little smaller than those at Boneyards and Supers. The difference is, that you will have a much longer ride here than at the other two
  8. Albatross (near Kabeljous Caravan Park): A wave in the same class as Point and mostly uncrowded
