 Informações suplementares

Get yourself a boat with an extra tank petrol and head far out into nowhere.. There are 3 breaks. 1.) Bellows: which sits far out southwest of seal island. Picks up the most swell of the 3, is a predominantly left hand wave but breaks both directions.(Dont know exactlocation.) East shoal: (Thats the name given on sea charts) The reef in the pic. A deeper reef so needs bigger swell to work. Dont know if it has ever been surfed. Right and left.
3.) Unnamed righthander that breaks off seal island. Can get perfect under the right swell but a life gamble due to sharks.
The weather does strange things and the wind blows all the time out here so plan it well and go on a calm day after a storm so that you dont get blown to the south pole! I recommend checking the tides and sea report before aswell. ASEC (African Shark Eco Charters) do shark cage diving trips often out here and are here mostly when the seas are calmer but I wouldnt advise going surfing when they are about!

Ambiente

Welcome to one of South Africa's least ridden and largely un-heard of big wave surfing spots. This spot has often been spoken about amongst False Bay and Cape Town surfers, yet remains somewhat a myth due to the inaccessability of it. It sits far out to sea, close to seal island, which collects one of, or if not the largest populations of great white sharks in South Africa.It needs a huge swell to start working (roughly 8-10feet)and can hold up to 20plus. (Local fisherman have told how they have seen and heard of it breaking at 30!) On huge days we used to sit on Helderberg mountain and could see it barreling from where we sat. (The other side of False Bay.)

Geral

Scary place, cold water all year round. Winter is the best time to go as the most swell comes from huge storms out to sea.The downside about winter is that the sharks apparently feed more off shark island and head closer to the mainland in the summer. There is an abundance of all sea life out there so if you not surfing, you can just enjoy the scenery. We have only surfed here a few times, as wind conditions got worse and more sharks were spotted but gets perfect on a good day. Bring a Bible and a crowd cause theres none here.
