In which South African town is the famous right-hand surf break Supertubes located?

The story behind the answer

The famous right-hand surf break Supertubes is located in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa.

Jeffreys Bay is a coastal town in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province. Its point-break waves are produced as swells wrap around the shoreline and run along a series of sections, including Boneyards, Magna Tubes, Supertubes, Impossibles, and Tubes.

Supertubes is especially celebrated for long, fast, hollow right-hand waves. The break has hosted major professional competitions and is one of the best-known high-performance surfing locations in the world.

Jeffreys Bay is not the same place as Durban or Cape Town, two other prominent South African coastal cities with important surf cultures. The name of the town is often shortened to J-Bay in surfing coverage, while Supertubes refers to the specific break rather than the entire coastline.
