Welcome to one of only a few known classic west coast big wave tow-in spots. Mainly a left but there is a right aswell. The left is longer than the right but the right is hollower. You could fit a minivan into the barrel here on big days. For the left: Race it as hard as you can untill it fades into the deeper water. The right is just crazy and i dont think an be tackled, breaks on dry reef. The bigger the longer it gets as it wraps around the reef.

Ambiente

Surfed here twice and dont think I will ever again unless the conditions are perfect and we have a jetski. Each time the currents were too strong and we didnt have jetski's or boat so had to cut it short. In gods hands out here. A friend of mine almost drowned here. On 8 foot it was good but have seen it at easily 18 foot. Only gets this big on winter months though (June-August.) Picks up quite alot of swell but works best when bigger. If you pass here and you have jetski's or boat and the time come check it out. (Wouldnt tackle it without these.)Might be able to get here from Port Nolloth or from Kleinsee where there are launching places but it will be a far trip by boat. Very sharky i think. I think it is on private property so watch out for that.

Geral

Wind is the biggest bitch on the west coast, which can easily spoil a good wave. Come when theres no wind at all. Best on a few glassy, sunny, winter days.

West Coast Diver - This is not the spot u r taking one massive chance

De Big Prokamzi , 14-12-2008

Let's randomly review & check Saffajono's authoring of this spot, shall we? - 1."The right is just crazy"
Since the author of this spot is certifiably crazy, then this part gets a passing grade.
2."in God's hands"
This part would work only if we could confirm Saffajono's christianity exists within his heart & soul.
3."Wind is the biggest bitch on the west coast"
Now this works for a passing grade since we ALL know that Saffajono is merely an alias for the infamous Jono; he's also tied for the biggest bitch on the west coast, with that bitch of a windy condition along the caostline there!
