Virgin Point

DANGEROUS

Atmosphere:
I've only ever seen two other people surf this. It scares people. It looks scary. You can see these huge swells break and roll down the point with an occasional spit. It definitely barrels. Have a good look at the photo – it looks perfect yet nobody ever paddles out. Excepts for a few hard core crew. Are you brave enough?!

Additional Info:
Park your car next to the road and walk down the very steep mountainside. Jump off the rocks. Getting in down the point is easier. Use an old board as you will damage your equipment.

The spot is located between Gordon’s Bay and Rooiels. It only breaks a couple of times a year and requires a huge SW swell. You can see the wave down below you from the road. It is a very powerful wave and you would not want to straighten out. Getting back out of the water is a hassle. Watch out for the sharks.
Probably better spots elsewhere when the swell is huge.
