JEFFERY'S BAY WINTER FEST SET FOR 6–22 JULY 2019

The annual J-Bay Open returns — one of the most prestigious events on the WSL Championship Tour, drawing the world's best surfers to one of the world's best waves.

The Jeffreys Bay Winter Fest is set to run from 6 to 22 July 2019, with the J-Bay Open as the centrepiece — one of the most prestigious stops on the WSL Championship Tour.

J-Bay attracts the world's best surfers to ride what many consider the finest right-hand point break on the planet. Supertubes, when it's firing, is simply one of the most spectacular waves you'll ever see — long, fast, perfectly shaped barrels that seem to run forever.

Beyond the competition, the Winter Fest celebrates surf culture with live music, markets, art exhibitions and community events throughout the two-week period.

If you're planning a trip to watch the action, Gary's Surf School offers guided surf trips to Jeffreys Bay for those who want to get in the water themselves. There's nothing quite like surfing J-Bay during comp season with world-class surfers in the water.
