The magnificent Sunset Wave. 
Sunset Beach does not often 'work' for the surfers and many a day it is hard to believe that this is one of the very few Really Big wave sites in the world. When Sunset is firing, usually in summer when the South- East blows, it produces unbelievable waves. Riding these on a BIG day is only for the skilled and the brave!
Cape Town Surfing.
Although Sunset Reef is the most famous for its size the jagered Cape Peninsula coastline from Kommetjie to Cape Point and then along False Bay to Muizenburg always have an excellent wave to offer for surfers and bodyboarders. The shape of the Peninsula means that regardless of wind direction there is always a beach with an on-shore. Long Beach Kommetjie, Outer Kom, Misty Cliffs, Washing Machine, Dunes and The Hoek is all close by. Diaz Beach, Kalk Bay and Llandudno fill in the days that Kommetjie itself is not working.
Surfing Conditions at the Cape Beach House.
The water color and clarity makes up for its temperature. It is only the brave and committed that surf the Cape without a full suit and then only in summer. To those who love to ride the waves, surfers and bodyboarders the Western Cape Peninsula has a very rich bounty to offer. Equipment and expert tuition is available up the road from the Beach House at Gary's Surfing Tours Cape Town. Continue to the tour to visit some of the local surfing beaches.

The Beach House and Surfing History.
Gerda discovered the plot where the
Beach House now stands while videoing Andre (junior) riding Sunset Reef in October 1996. He won the South African Bodyboarding Association Boys Title the same year.
