A classic wave. It is heavy and powerful. Similar to Hossegor. The sand banks favour rights. Gets super hollow.
Overview
Atmosphere
The beach is stunning, huge and very long. it doesn't get that crowded due to the hardcore walk in. has decent waves in the summer as well. the place is unspoilt.

one of the best beachies
go to dunes if outer kom is just not big enough.then make sure you put on booties,a hoodie,and then start heading down the beach towards where you just came from,kom.since the beach makes a bay, find a good angle on the wind,which should ofcourse be south east,and a good channel.paddle out.wait.let the first one go by and then go.if you don't remember at that point what is written here,then you haven't read this

I bodyboarded there a couple years back! It is an awesome awesome wave! As a bodyboarder who is always looking for a killer wave with power for huge airs and fat tubes it is the perfect spot. I only surfed it a couple times and was always very powerful and unforgiving! Worth the walk!

Not worth it!
This spot Dunes is definately not worth a go especially if you are visiting Cape Town. Too many Great Whites here and they do attack. 2 Attacks recently, 1 being fatal. Often bump people off their boards and generally harrass surfers. No help if needed as it's really far from nearest car park. Just too scary! Who wants to be maimed or die on holiday?. Best bet for surf nearby is Clovelly Peak, a world class A-frame beach break. Can be fickle but worth just hanging out there as it normally just turns on very suddenly and you want to be there before others are on it. It's a semi secret spot so no pictures are provided ,but beleive me it cooks!!!.
