South Africa Surfing Info and Details
Surfing in South Africa
South Africa cops plenty of swell from antarctic lows and is surrounded by the ocean on three sides (all but the north) which makes for huge surfing possibilities. It's 3 000 km coastline has a 270 degree exposure to the swells that may be on offer, so we are talking about lots and lots of waves. This coastline is swept by two major ocean currents, the warm south-flowing Mozambique-Agulhas Current and the cold Benguela, and every coast is pounded by surf throughout the year.There are so many world class surf spots it is just not funny. The surfing world got its first taste in the Endless Summer movie, now South African waves feature on websites and surf magazines the world over.
The massive coast ensures empty waves can be found. Watch out for Sharks!
