Kommetjie is a surf and kite spot on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula, south of Noordhoek. This coastal village is known for its powerful reef waves and committed conditions. The south-easterly Cape Doctor blows side-offshore, offering technical wave riding conditions. The main spot is the Long Beach reef break, but several other reef spots are accessible along the coast. Kommetjie is a stronghold of South African surfing, with a strong local community.
Works with SW and W swells combined with the SE Cape Doctor. Waves break on rocky reefs from 1 to 4+ meters. Best from mid to high tide for the reef breaks. Side-offshore wind creates clean wave riding conditions. Shared spot with surfers — respect priorities.
