Additional Surfing Infos
 Likes around 4-5 winter groundswell but can hold alot bigger. A Long reefbreak with a hairy takeoff and some super hollow sections. There is a right aswell occasionally but the left is better. Locals are not always too friendly but just be patient and eveuntually youll get something. Come early hours during the working week and theres hardly a crowd but on weekends its full, depending how good elands is.. When Elands is going off there'll be fewer crowds here.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Awsome wave. Long and hollow. There are a few different spots in the area so just go look for them. A nice weekend getaway from Capetown.
  General Lekker spot but be warned the wind often blows here. Check out the bushman paintings in the cave close by.
