Bruce's Beauties surf guide

Bruce's Beauties is a surf spot known for its challenging waves and rugged environment. Located near Cape St. Francis, it attracts experienced surfers looking for something intense. While the waves can be impressive, they are not reliably consistent, which means that you'll need to check the conditions frequently to catch it at its best.

This spot really comes alive when there's a big southeast swell. The optimal swell direction is east, and it can handle swell sizes around 5 feet (about 1.5 meters). You can expect right-breaking point waves, but be aware that this spot breaks over an uneven reef, making it tricky to navigate. Lower tides paired with southwest winds can create waves that rival those found at Supertubes in J-Bay, but keep in mind that it's definitely an expert-only spot due to the heavy drops and thick lips that can catch you off guard, especially given how close the waves break to the rocks.

While Bruce's Beauties is primarily for experienced surfers, it's important to be fully aware of the conditions before you paddle out. Check for the right combination of swell direction, tide height, and wind conditions. Remember, catching a wave here can be an exhilarating experience, but you'll want to be at the top of your game given the fickle nature of the spot and its often challenging waves.
