South of Hondeklipbaai. Take the coastal road. Look for where the rivermouth is, thats the point. You can either get to the point from the baeach by walking (pretty long) or by driving around by taking the road over the river, which is another long drive. Beach is best bet.

Additional Information
Needs a 5+ swell to start working properly. The reef is shallow and deep in different places so its a strange wave. The first section is fast and then it slows as it wraps into the bay. Powerful and long wave, though not hollow the beachbreak can get pretty good aswell. On big days you can ride it almost to the beach. Gets very good but abit fickle. Winter months its on.

Atmosphere
Watch out for sharks. Good fishing and snorkeling. When its not working you dont have to travel too far to get perfect, uncrowded waves. (You pretty much alone out hre.) Loads of secret spots, just go look. When all is very flat, take out crayfish from the small bay south from here.

General
West coast is brilliant, uncrowded and has awsome surf if you dont mind the cold.

Gets hectic brah - The point itself can get very good under the right conditions and when its flat dive for lobster south of the point, theres lots there. Theres an outside reef that works sometimes aswell but needs a Huge swell to turn on properly. Hav'nt surfed it and i dont think anyone has but when its on again we'll take out the rubber duck to check it out, yeeeoooww!!
