Where I surfed : wedge / bay / cave When I went : may 2005 My Rating: 9 out of 10 How was the surf ? cave rock. big fast steep on heavy reef lots of sharks and dolphins . take a helmet and wet suit . swell daily 4/8 foot clean. lock your car. Useful Hints eg. Directions to surf spot etc fly to johannesburg and then on to Durban. ask for bluff brighton beach . lots of surf lodges on beach front. surfers are all ok and help each other.
Sea Temp. (C) Today 23.7 (Statistics for 07 Jun 1981-2005 - mean: 22.6 max: 23.4 min: 21.7 ) And I Quote: Cave Rock, South Africa Wonderful. In glassy conditions, it's at its best. Needs a clean south-easterly groundswell with light offshore wind. Gets dangerously shallow during the low tide. The surfing capital is without doubt Durban, where warm water and kind currents have created a thriving surfing scene. New Pier is at its heart, with sand-bottomed tube rides guaranteed on good days. At the other extreme, expect to be scarred or scared at the unforgiving exposed reefbreak at Cave Rock.
