Kommetjie Point is the main reef break point at Kommetjie, a powerful and long right-hander breaking on a rocky reef. It's one of the most respected surf spots in Cape Town and one of the most dangerous. Waves can reach 3-5+ meters and are extremely powerful. The spot is reserved for expert wave riders. Local surfers are very territorial — respect is essential.
Works with big SW swell (2+ meters). Best at mid-tide. Waves are long and powerful on the reef. When it works, it's one of the best spots in Cape Town. Perfect sessions are rare. RESPECT the local surfers.
Freezing water (10-14°C), 5/3 wetsuit minimum. Massive waves (2-5+ m) on very shallow rocky reef. Violent currents. Dense kelp. Devastating impact in case of falls.
