Additional Information

This is a very strong,fast,fat and hollow wave and it not a good wave for beginners!!Watch out for strong rips and beware of very shallow bottom!!

Atmosphere

This spot is located on the beach that is about 800m long and lies in a bay thas has a rivermouth at it's one end and a rocky point on the other end.The spot is never crowded becuase it is so far from any bustling towns.It is a must if a westerly wind is blowing in the Mosselbay-area!!!!

General

It is awesome,the biggest pits you will see in the whole area, and if a westerly is blowing all the waves will have a insane pit, watch out for the spit!!!!
