Park outside "Guidos" pub & restraunt for west beach and just swim accross the river for eastbeach. From Guidos car park you can see both spots easily and make a decision where you want to go.
.....And you give it a two star rating?
I also grew up surfing this amazing break. I have had the most epic days of my life there - it is so consistent and when it fires it FIRES! Just search the web for shots on Eastbeach Port Alfred and youll see what I mean.

West rocks
Having surfed along the eastern cape coast consistantly for over 10 years i can honestly say that Port Alfred on its day can really produce the goods, the east side produces long beefy rights up to at least 8ft but any bigger and the paddle can be a nightmare.If you are up for shorter ride, head over to the west side for some thick wedging A-frames and some of the heaviest barrels along this stretch of coast.Frequented by a some pretty laidback locals, respect them.. they charge.

East cooks
No way!! You give East Pier a 2 star rating??? Are you f***ing crazy! I grew up surfing this spot and in winter it goes off regulary in the 6ft plus range. Whoever scored it 2 stars, why don't you take off in the mouth when its 6ft, hollow low tide, clean and top to bottom barrels and tell me then if you will still give it 2 stars!!!!
