The surf was pumping in South Africa on Thursday – with huge waves at famous surf location Jeffrey’s Bay, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa… as well as wild surf at Onrus Beach in the Western Cape that made the beach disappear!

Jeffrey’s Bay photographers ROBBIE IRLAM and MAARTEN VAN DE VELDE captured the action in J-Bay and have kindly shared them with SAPeople…

“Had a few ‘small’ ones coming through Thursday afternoon…”

“A frothy little double up…”

“There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures. –
Billy Shakespeare”

Legendary Big Wave surfer Grant ‘Twiggy’ Baker was there to enjoy the surf…
