Take a boat from Cape Town and travel to Marion Island. The spot is about an hours walk north from Base. There are no roads there.

Great wave, lots of swell so youll have no problem there. Worst part is the wind. Come in summer (Dec - Feb)

Its a long walk there and back. Probably the only beach break on the island. COLD, ISOLATED place so bring a friend. Take all provisionals with you. Camp out on the beach if the weather allows.

Good beachie. Ive heard it gets huge here and still holds with good form but again you gotta watch for the wind. There are a few other spots on the island but with no roads youre gonna struggle to ever see them. Marion Island is far from a surf destination. It is remote and only has a research base on it. If you (most likely) a South African and manage to get here, take your board and a really thick wetsuit, you might score some good waves to yourself.
