Needs bigger swell to work but when it does it cooks! On low tide it can get hairy, have broken a few boards here.
First check out the spot to fully understand it!The left breaks fast and hollow and is often unmakable but when you make it you are a hero!The end section is rounder than a hula hoop and very fast.The wave also tricks sometimes into paddleing too far to the inside and often you will catch a few on the head!
A great wave, the Inner Pool is within a stones throw of Outer Pool. A small inlet where the waves break off rocks. Tends to be a bit slow moving and mushy, but is pretty popular. Walls up nicely sometimes, often when there are no waves at Outer Pool.
Bodyboarders still speak in awe of the day Mike Stewart was taken here and blew the place apart. It was never regarded as a surf spot until recently. Just around the corner from the sheer cliffs of Cape Point, it's an imposing venue. It also entails a stiff walk down and a steep half-hour climb back up. There is no beach to speak of, just rock, cliffs and a crunchy righthander that breaks close to the rocks, although does break left too. Better suited for bodyboarders, it has been ridden by standups too.
Somewhere south of orange river in Namaqualand. This is a kak scary spot, the heaviest wave we've surfed for sure. Could be one of the heaviest in S.A, a mini shark island lookalike. The wave sucks off and ledges off a huge rock which you gotta watch out for, a mate of mine lost his front teeth, weve all had injuries ranging from concussion, broken wrist, cuts etc. You gotta jump off a cliff to get right close to it, dont jump to far to right or left of it cause then youre fucked! Just go for it, hold your breath, dont think twice and hope you make it out..
Left point break. Needs a solid 10' + storm swell, preferably in winter. A reef on the outside blocks off much of the force. Like Elands, it copes with SW winds. Works on a low tide. Likely to be working if Elands is out of control.
