About

I love surfing here because it's a very easy spot to predict. A good swell, a South-wester, anything except high tide and it goes off.

Atmosphere:
Friendly atmosphere, despite hectic crowds.

Additional Info:
This is one of the few breaks in Cape Town that holds up in a South West wind. There is a permanent sandbar in the middle of the break with peaks breaking left and right. The left is very consistent and breaks into a channel. The right sometimes closes out or fades, but can still give great long rides on the right day, which end over a rocky area. The shore break can get a little serious on big days - you may want to kick out before you get there. Unless the swell is big, don't bother at high tide - it get's too deep and the waves don't break on the sandbar.

When it does work, you will find the waves easy to ride, yet meaty and fast moving.

Location

Access

Drive south along the peninsula to Kommetjie. It's a small town, and as you get close, you will see a sign on the right that says "long beach". You can't miss it.
