The Point

South Africa

Overview

The Point is the start of the Jeffreys Bay point break series, located north of Supertubes. This is where southwest swells begin to break along the reef towards the south. The wave is less powerful than Supertubes but offers long rides. For kiting, this is an advanced spot due to the rocky bottom but more accessible than Supertubes. Transition zone between the sandy beach to the north and the reef to the south.
