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.
