Additional Surfing Infos
 Looooong and fast lefthand point break that likes a 4-5 foot swell to start wrapping well around the point. The take off is insane! Huge open barrels on a shallow reef regularly. Shallow at some areas, the wave wraps around part of the point, then loses abit of power, and then reforms again over another shallow stretch. Perfect on 6 foot with slight offshore in the mornings. Ive seen it just as long and better than Elands Bay. Gets classic.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Does not like wind so mornings are best. I think its on private property but not sure. Takes a good walk once youve parked your car to get to it. Beutiful scenery and no one around.
  General Classic. One of my favourites along this stretch of coast. You guys will be surprised off how many good perfect surf spots there are along this stretch of coast around here to Namibia but no one ever makes the effort to come out here. There are dozens, oh well your loss. If you seek you shall find.
