 Additional Information

Hardly ever works though seen it pumping a few times. Winter itll be on, needs a big swell comming into False Bay before it works properly. A 8-10foot swell might mean 2foot for rooiels so the bigger the better. When bikini beach is too crowded and koeelbay is too big or outta control, check this out before going to Betty's Bay.
