SURF SPOTS

GENERAL INFO ON SURFING IN SOUTH AFRICA

Cape Town & WEST COAST: • The South African winter (which is from June until August) is the best period to go out for an epic surf session. • Bring your wetsuit! Even in summer the temperature of the water is pretty low. A 4/3 full suit is recommended. And if you’re still cold by then you are not paddling hard enough! • When it rains the wind will be from the north which is perfect for the waves!
