Overview

Kitchen Windows is a reef spot located south of Supertubes in the Jeffreys Bay point break series. The name comes from the windows of houses overlooking the spot. This reef produces quality right-hand waves, less tubing than Supertubes but still committing. It is a spot for advanced riders, with a rocky reef bottom. Kiting is more tolerated here than at Supertubes but respect for surfers remains paramount.

Southeast wind blows side-onshore to onshore. Strength of 15-25 knots in summer. The position further south in the bay can expose this spot to slightly stronger wind than the main beach. WSW remains rideable thanks to the coast orientation. Reliable SE thermal in the afternoon from October to March.
