Here’s a question; where do you go when South Africa’s premier pointbreak at Jeffrey’s Bay is wild and out of control? During a late season pulse last week, a rare yet equally rippable alternative presented itself, only a mere 45 minute drive south of SA’s favourite wave.
Named after Bruce Brown’s iconic discovery in The Endless Summer, Bruce’s Beauties is a notoriously fickle spot at Cape St Francis, making this off-season swell even more remarkable for those who surfed it. It’s a spot that is steeped in history and physical change over the years, and last Wednesday, September 28, local photographer and man-in-the-know Mike Ruthnam scored, along with a friend from Margaret River, Lee Parkinson.
