If you’re of a certain age, or a person who has steeped themselves in surf history, you’re well aware of Bruce’s Beauties.
It’s the place cemented in surf history from that scene in Bruce Brown’s Endless Summer, made so famous by Mike Hynson and Robert August climbing a dune in coastal South Africa to lay eyes on one of the most perfect right-hand point breaks on Earth. It is, as everyone knows now, Cape St. Francis, and that scene kicked off generations of surfers hell-bent on exploration.
In the film, Bruce Brown says “From all the information we could gather, we figure it’s like this about 300 days of the year. The water was seventy degrees. The prevailing wind there straight offshore.”
