Lookout beach
Edit SpotAbout
Gets good in winter swell. Awsome new years eve parties.
Atmosphere:
Alot of kooks and people on the beach.
Additional Info:
This spot, the main beach at Plett, lacks real power and closes out more often than not. At certain times of the year, it seems to improve quite dramatically. The sand shifts, the swell comes in cleanly, the wind eases further to the west. It then becomes a fun diversion, but with classic surf spots nearby, it's not the most alluring of temptations. Apparently there are some good waves further down the beach near the river mouth, often just a small channel between the lagoon and the sea.
