The break.
Left pointIntermediateMixed
The left, West Coast
A left point on the West Coast, north of Cape Town, a crayfish town that kept the wave. Elands Bay is the long wall when the south is on. The mountain sits behind the point. The road is the filter.
When.
April to September
South swell in winter. The point needs the right angle. The beach is the rest of the week.
Worth knowing.
- 1. The point is the swell day. The beach next to town is the smaller morning.
- 2. This is a long drive from Cape Town. Treat it as its own trip, not a sunset look.
- 3. Winter is the window. Summer is smaller, still a look, not why the vans came.
- 4. The town is small. Bring what you need. The next shop is not next door.
Go.
Before you paddle.
- 1. Check local conditions before entering
- 2. Always surf with a buddy
- 3. Know your limits and skill level
- 4. Watch for rip currents
- 5. Respect local surfers and rules
