Hondeklip Bay Reef
Edit SpotAbout
Does not like wind, so mornings are best. Dont think too many have surfed here.
Atmosphere:
Good spot, loads of others in the area to choose from. Watch out for the fishing boats. Probably very sharky so watch out..
Additional Info:
There are a few reef breaks and a good beachbreak here. Lefts and rights. The reefs favour rights and the beachbreak gets super hollow on the right swell. Powerful when big, take caution.
