Hullets Reef Surf Guide

Hullets Reef in Jeffreys Bay Coast is a reasonably exposed reef break that has reasonably consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the southwest. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southeast. A reef breaks left. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Sharks may be a hazard at this break.

We hope you find the new 12-day forecasts and additional details useful.

Kudos to everyone who helped us debug this over the past 3 months.

Be sure to click on the Advanced Surf option to see extra details about the sea-state. Look out for crossing swells and short period local wind swells and chop that will often spoil a groundswell even if the wind is perfect. As yet there is no allowance for this in the swell rating. This is something we are working on.
