The wave breaks most often off the harbour wall and along a small reef section. Ive seen it hollow and descent only a few times. Surfed it twice it was descent. Come check it out when bikini is crowded. Best on When everywhere else is big, it might be around 3-4 foot here. Come when there little wind and clean swell.
Watch for it to break on the other side of the rocks, that spot is usually empty and just as good. (left side)
A fickle wave that gets good on occasion. It's at the mouth of the Milnerton lagoon. Best on a high tide and a big, clean Westerly groundswell and light Berg winds.
Pretty well know reefbreak in Strand. Its been surfed many a times. Likes a medium to big swell to turn on properly. It breaks left and rights but the lefts are better and longer. The right section often has a crazy hollow part to it. Its a fun wave and when its on therel be a few locals on it.

The wave has two directions two it. The left, which works on any swell above 2m and the right, which tends to only work on massive swell. Both directions have their uses. The left is a hollow takeoff into a hollow, but soft, barrel section, followed by a decently long ride, as long as their is decent swell and offshore winds. Unlike the right, the left is extremely vulnerable to the wind and incorrect wind will often lead to a quick takeoff, followed by closeouts and white water.
The right only tends to work on larger swell. When a wave comes over the right side of the reef, it provides a fast takeoff down the wave, which is nowhere near as hollow as the left and therefore, is less prone to closeouts. The wave is ridden right off the reef, along the sand bottomed area of the wave, which is opposite the beach and can be ridden for much longer than the left.
The reef itself is just a bunch of flat rocks, covered in kelp and redbait. The reef is really shallow and causes the wave to suck up really fast, causing the right and left takeoffs to have a large gap between them. On a big day, you can take a small beating if you take off really deep on the reef and go over the falls, but otherwise, the wave is a teddy bear.
The reef is also only surfable on a rising to high tide, as too low of a tide will cause you too ding your board or cause the wave too suck up too fast.
Wait till after the set then take the 1st wave after so the set can create the wedge off the wall
Not the greatest spot around but does somehow more often attract a group of surfers to it, especially in winter. When theres enough swell there are a few different peaks to choose between Clifton 4th and 1st. This wave is straightforwars, doesnt get very long but can give a punch on bigger swell.
