Edit SpotAbout
Gets excellent!!
Atmosphere:
Looooong and very sharky but when you see the wave you wont care.
Additional Info:
Tucked away around a corner, this is the Bruces of the southern Cape. It's an awesome barrel, but it only breaks when a solid southeasterly swell pushes around the corner and on to the rocks, in similar fashion to Vlees. Lots of sharks in the area. When its on its awsome, one of the longest waves in SA for sure but it only works a few times a year, mosly in winter although has been known to surprise you often.
