Additional Information
Good casual break in SA, mostly friendly locals.usually owning it are the bluff crew a bunch of scragley looking layabouts. Can be damnm good on its day.
Atmosphere
I really liked this spot with half the crowd of the durban piers and a whole lot punchier waves to boot. If your really keen head down to the CAVE down the road for sum heavy sheet.
General
like i said a cool wave but if your really keen and your in the area head an hour down south to a town by the name of h----d--n (ps just before umzumbe) and trust me it coooooks.

Ansteys Rocks! - Avoid on Xmas and New year's Day because of discomfort of huge crowds but otherwise, day in and day out, this is one of the best spots on the planet! I know - I live about 100 metres from this surfing spot.
