Additional Surfing Infos
 Named breaks in the area are Sampsons Bak, a powerful right-hand point break that delivers some epic waves when conditions are right: a solid 6-8' groundswell, light offshore and pushing tide. Kelpy and cold. Full steamers a necessity. A heavy spot, gets super shallow and hairy at sections.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Big open barrels here. Long ride. Loads of kelp around.
  General Watch out for the rocks.

This spot along with trailor bay are under threat. Some electro nuclear plant will mean access to them will be forbidden. Go to www.wavescape.co.za to petition.
