3de Steen
Edit SpotAbout
Gets excellent
Atmosphere:
Great spot when you get it good and its only you out.
Additional Info:
Well known spot close to Capetown. Powerful beachbreak at times with some shifting sandbanks. Best in winter swell. When this place is on itll be crowded then there are always the other steens (1st and 2nd)to choose from of just wait patiently and youll get something. At its best it gives chunky shorebreak style barrels and a descent ride.
