Located on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, this Cape Town beach is a fun little beach break that offers up some average conditions with fun peaks most days. The waves here require a bit of skill to surf and break for up to 50 meters (164 feet) over a rock and sand bottom.
What are the best surf conditions for Cape Town?
It gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard if smaller and a shortboard, and then a step up as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is consistent (7/10) and will get busy at peak times (5/10). The best winds are from the East. The best swells are from the Southwest and West. It works best on a mid to high tide.
We recommend wearing a 3/2 in the summer when water temperatures rise to 19°C (66°F). In winter, a 4/3 is best when temps drop to 15°C (59°F). See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
