Additional Information

One of Capetowns best and better known spots and its not hard to see why. Heavy reefbreak which offers solid and fairly long lefts and rights, depending on swell direction. Its a crazy wave with an intense ride and holds very big swell well. Best on clean, big swell and no wind.

Atmosphere

Come if youre experienced otherwise forget it.

General

Awsome atmosphere out here when its pumping. Dont drop in.
