Ann Ave is a spot located at Cape St Francis, south of St Francis Bay. This beach/reef spot offers committing wave conditions on an exposed coast. The spot is named after the street that leads to it. The coast here faces south-southwest, fully receiving SW swells. This is a spot for advanced riders seeking solid wave riding conditions in the St Francis area.
The spot works with SE to WSW wind. Quality waves during SW swell on the exposed coast. Mix of sand and reef bottom depending on sections. Rideable at all tides but safer at high tide (more depth over reef). Often committing conditions — check before riding.
Open all year round
Advanced
