Well known spot close to Capetown. Powerful beachbreak at times with some shifting sandbanks. Best in winter swell. When this place is on itll be crowded then there are always the other steens (1st and 2nd)to choose from of just wait patiently and youll get something. At its best it gives chunky shorebreak style barrels and a descent ride.

Atmosphere
Great spot when you get it good and its only you out.
all wrong
this place only works on low tide, maybe mid when bigger, ..as for the guy who lives 2 minutes away, ..there are no houses in 2 minute driving distance, maybe 5minutes from melkbos

To the dude tuning its not derdes - dude ... I surf this spot almost every other day of my life as I live less than 2 minutes drive from it ... that is most certainly derdesAnd to the tide dude ... yea ... you're right .. mid tide is better but some years is has cooked on the dead high and others it has cooked on dead low ... last year it was best on mid pushing - so he's not entirely wrong?

it's a local break for me, works on high tide,and it goes off when it's working,a bit heavy sometimes,but defenitly worth it,you just have to be there on the right day,the whole of cape town goes off in winter ask anyone after we've had a big storm and the sky clears up,you have blue sky and thumping waves for locals enjoyment and the waters warmer, gas chambers is just up the road for those who like gnarly shorey.word!listen to the kings of leon and come to cape town
