Langberg Point Access
  Difficult to explain. In the Northern Cape. Drive to Garies and then to the Langberg mountain range, follow the riverbed to the coast. The rivermouth is next to the point. Once you get to the point, follow the dirt road to the top.

Additional Surfing Infos
 Langberg Point or spook (ghost) as we call it is a challenging and heavy wave to surf whenits on. Problem is that is usually only in the winter months. Needs a HUGE swell (atleast 8+)to start working and wrapping around the point properly. Kind of like the Vlees Bay of the West coast so it works rarely but when it does its classic. Dangerous and shallow. The point is a rocky ledge that drops straight into deep water so its best on high tide. Looks simular to a spot called 'Deadmans' in Australia. I will add pics as soon as i take them or as soon as i catch it on again.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Dought whether anyone has surfed here. Dangerous beast of a wave. Gets long. Theres a beachbreak aswell that is more consistent than the point but you okes dont need to drive too far to find many awsome secret spots. lots of potential along here, just make the effort to drive and you'll find something.
  General All alone here. Watch out for sharks, your'e in deep shit if something should happen to you out here.
