About

Crazy.. if youre looking for big tow-ins in False Bay then this is the place. Would rather surf here than at Bellows reef (close to seal island) just cause of the distance to get there and 100% shark presence. Dont be a wanker and come alone unless you want to get washed up at Strand beach with crabs comming out your eye sockets! We need more of a crowd for this place!

Atmosphere:
Scary.. Dont know how many have surfed it? We've only surfed there twice, each time with jetski's. Only caught a few waves and left early one day because of strange movement in the water and another day cause was getting out've control. Works good on 10 feet swell but local fisherman have seen it atleast at 20! More shallow than you'd think, said hello to the reef on every wipeout.. Currents are crazy so dont see how you could tackle it without a boat or jetski. Its a good fishing spot but fisherman have seen plenty of sharks here so be warned. Sits out infront of AECI (African explosives company). The sound of big waves breaking and occasional explosions from the shore, together with the cold water, strong currents and presence of sharks will have you leaving a brown mark in you suit!

Additional Info:
Blinkklip is one of the Sunset Reefs (deep sea surf spot near Kommetjie) of False Bay. (There are 3 that i'm aware of.) Named after the shallow rock ledge it breaks on, this is a mystic surf spot. It is very deep out to sea, across from AECI, and can be seen breaking from the beach on very large swell days. It offers a very steep take-off and short ride, althogh can get pretty long depending on the swell. The presence of sharks here is an almost certainty.
