Overview
J-Bay is among the most consistent and technically perfect waves on the planet. The right-hand point at Supertubes runs for over 800 metres on a solid south swell, offering rides that feel impossible in their duration and precision. The town itself is small, unpretentious, and completely organized around surf — you'll find excellent wetsuits, shaping bays, and surf film culture within a few blocks of the water. Meridian houses members in a private villa on the point, with direct sand access.
