Drive south along the peninsula to Kommetjie. It's a small town, and as you get close, you will see a sign on the right that says "long beach". You can't miss it.

 Additional Information

This is one of the few breaks in Cape Town that holds up in a South West wind. There is a permanent sandbar in the middle of the break with peaks breaking left and right. The left is very consistent and breaks into a channel. The right sometimes closes out or fades, but can still give great long rides on the right day, which end over a rocky area. The shore break can get a little serious on big days - you may want to kick out before you get there. Unless the swell is big, don't bother at high tide - it get's too deep and the waves don't break on the sandbar.

When it does work, you will find the waves easy to ride, yet meaty and fast moving.

General

I love surfing here because it's a very easy spot to predict. A good swell, a South-wester, anything except high tide and it goes off.
