Additional Information
A rocky shelf just south of Lambert's Bay produces a fun, sometimes classic 2-5 foot wave, as long as conditions are glassy or a NE berg wind is blowing. So named after a nearby farmer called, you guessed it, Mr Burger, a legend in the area.
Atmosphere
Cold water. Loads of Kelp. Good hollow waves.
General
Lekker.

You are out-of-control Jono, you IDIOT! - You will assuredly reap whatever you sow; whilst living on earth Bru. There are NO farmers on the desert-like West S.African coast. As a matter of fact, Farmer Boys Burgers is a fast-food restaurant on the corner of La Palma Av. + Richfield St., Anaheim, CALI. I used to take lunch-breaks there, when I used to work nearby. You, however, will likely end up 'eating your lunch' at your imaginary Mr.Burger's private 'funny-farm' Jono!! Or 'closish' to it!!!

Dunno what Prokamzi's problem is... - I suspect he's never been to Cape Town. Farmer Burger's is a well-known stop-off on the way to Elands Bay. And yes, Farmer Burger the man is legendary for his benevolence towards surfers crossing his property to get to the wave.
