Noordhoek Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Good, gets classic with bigger swell but anything from 3foot up is good here with the right wind.
Atmosphere:
Nice long wave with lots of barrels to be had. Many different peaks so just walk up and down.
Additional Info:
A beautiful beach that runs from Chapman's Peak Drive to Kommetjie. It's punctuated by a series of sand banks that deliver waves of various lengths, shapes and sizes. Some peaks get close to perfect at various peaks along the beach, depending on sand movement and swell quality. Southeast winds are offshore. Occasionally a sand bank will form that delivers perfect waves, otherwise most peaks are fun.
