Additional Surfing Infos |
| | This spot near Buffels is more consistent, but also needs a huge ocean swell to push into the swell window between Cape Point and Hangklip. Remains jealously guarded, even though it gets radically overcrowded, with a bunfight in the small take-off zone. If you don't know the spot, or the guys in the water, don't expect waves. A peak breaks on a rock shelf and runs both ways. The right is the more powerful wave. It's a classic wedge setup and handles up to close on 10' in ideal conditions (westerly winds and clean groundswell). For it to be this big though, you need a massive SE swell in the 15-20' category. Although False Bay has a fairly big swell window, it faces more east than south. Most swell comes from the S or SW. It often has long lulls between sets but when the stes come, you better be prepared for the best ride, or the worst wipeout of your life.
