Additional Information
Doesnt get as hollow or as long as other spots on robben island but works better when the others are outta control or too big. This wave feels alot safer than the others. Most swell here comes from S or SW but the trick is to catch it with a NW swell, then it gets longer.

General
Gets good in winter. You can either walk or just get a bus to drop you off on the way for a small price considering a descent wave with zero crowds and a beautiful view of table mountain. Get the times for the bus and boat schedule cause if you miss it you gotta wait till the next morning. There is a campsite apparently on the island but havnt checked it out yet. Not always the best wave but deffinately one with the most kiffest view!
