Overview

Magna Tubes is a reef spot located between Boneyards and Kitchen Windows in the Jeffreys Bay point break series. This reef produces quality right-handers during southwest swells. Like Supertubes, this is a spot reserved for experts due to the rocky reef and powerful waves. Kiting is tolerated when surfers are not present, but local rules must be strictly followed.
