Boneyards is a surf and kite spot located just north of Supertubes in Jeffreys Bay. The name refers to whale bone remains historically found on this beach. It is a transition zone between the sandy beach and the Supertubes reef, with a mix of sandy and rocky bottom. Waves are good quality during SW swells. Spot for advanced riders due to reef proximity and committing conditions.
The spot works with SE wind and SW swell. Transition zone between sand and reef. Waves are less perfect than Supertubes but more accessible. Less tension with surfers than at Supertubes. Rideable at all tides. Watch for reef at low tide. Good compromise for wave riding without the Supertubes stress.
