Edit SpotAbout
Sic wave, beautiful surroundings in the nature reserve. Their are a re few good spots in the reserve itself. Watch out for baboons, dont be stupid and leave food in your car with the windows open. Just leave them alone and they'll leave you.
Atmosphere:
Gets very long and powerful, especially during winter months.
Additional Info:
There are a number of waves in the Cape Point Nature Reserve that have some good surf. The surf spots here used to be secret until fairly recently. However, they all get pretty crowded these days, despite the harsh fees you have to pay at the gate. This is one of the waves here. It's a rocky right pointbreak. Works on southeast winds and moderate to large west to southwest swell. Best on the incoming tide.
