Cape Town Surfing 

Map of Cape Town and surrounds

Cape Town surfing locations offer locals great options in varying wind and swell conditions.

If you live in Cape Town, you'll always get waves (if you're prepared to travel).

If it's onshore in Table Bay, then False Bay will be offshore...and there's usually some swell around.

It's only when the SE winds have howled for a week in mid summer that there will be absolutely nothing...

But hey...that's nothing that can't be solved by a quick trip up the West Coast!

With the regular cold fronts that pass by the tip of Africa, Cape Town surfing  offers big waves on the western side...including the infamous Dungeons (off Hout Bay) and Sunset Reef (off Long beach/Kommetjie)...and plenty of power.

The water is ICY on the western side (you'll need a 4or 5mm wetsuit)  - yet it can be relatively warm in False Bay  (3/2mm in winter and boardies/bikini in summer).

To find the Cape Town surfing spots, have a look at our satellite map - you can zoom in to within a few meters of the waves!

Please remember to bookmark these pages or subscribe to our rss feed (see how in the nav column to your left)...as we will be providing surf reports for each of the geocoded surf spots in the very near future (early 2010)....and you'll be able to access these reports via the satellite map, the surf forecast menu, or the individual surf spot pages.

Priority in supplying surf forecasts is being given to spots for which we have been given information and photos, and have therefor been able to set up a surf spot page...here's and example of a suf spot page in western australia.

Clicking any of the blue links in the lists below the satellite map will take you to a page about that individual surf spot.

If the particular wave you are interested in is not yet visible as an active link, or not listed ....and you think you can share some local knowledge about it ....go ahead and add the wave to our database.

Add your own information about the wave and any photographs or epic video footage you may have!
