Surfing South Africa?

Postby Davis » Mon Dec 16, 2013 11:02 am

Hi guys, im a surfer from Sweden that is planning my next surftrip. S.A came up as a suggestion, never been there before. How is the surf? Been looking at Camps Bay area some and it seems nice. Where do we find accomodations? Would be cool with some bungalow close to the beach.

Hi Davis,

What level of surfer are you? Would you want to surf everyday or just a couple of times? What are you interested in doing while here? When are you planning on coming here?

Camps Bay surf isn't really a good spot. Clifton neither. Llandudno - barrel, a bit heavy, cold as hell and quite localised.

There's other options around Cape Town but first your level of surfing will help.

Cheers,

Dear surfing in south Africa is fabulous as the atmosphere of south Africa is pleasant. If you want to do surfing in S.A. and you know the accommodation for that then i know about it and is here:-
1. South Beach Hotel in Durbin,
2. The beach Hotel {Pert Elizabeth} S.A.
3. Garden Court South Beach Durbin
This is the list of some of the beach hotel in S.A.

Stil Bay has a pretty constant shore break in front of the village, but the hotties wait for a big south to southeast swell, when the right hand point break really grinds.
