To the west of Mossel Bay is Jongensfontein, a small SE swell reefbreak for when it's too wee for the likes of Stillbay's sharky but epic righthand pointbreak. Huge SW swells will halve in size by the time they have wrapped into the bay, but it is rocky, sectiony and a gruelling rip pushes down the point.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
