Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Watch for it to break on the other side of the rocks, that spot is usually empty and just as good.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Fun waves, cool people. Get it early morning before the wind's on it.
Big graffiti on the wall says locals only, but everyone I met there was very cool. Except for this one prick, but he seemed like the exception. All ages, and everyone seems to be having a great time. Lots of kids, but everyone's really respectful, didn't see anyone dropping in, on a good wave everyone hoots for you. |
| |
General |
One of the funnest little waves I had in Cape Town, convenient too. When the tide rises, you can often score some great rights just on the other side of the rocks, where it's usually empty. |
