If you’re a surf fanatic and have not made a trip to South Africa to hit up famous surf locals like Jeffrey’s Bay or Seal Point then you’ll definitely want to make plans to visit on your upcoming holiday. Travelling to South Africa to surf will undoubtedly be on of the highlights of your life. The continent has some of the best waves in the world as well as warm water and mild winter climates.
Once you arrive to any of the famous surf hot spots you’ll soon realise you aren’t the only one as loads of surfers will greet you with a warm welcome and be able to tip you to the best swells to hit up. If riding big waves or shooting through some of the most pristine African barrles is your goal then you are sure to be delighted.
Whilst you’re in South Africa you may want to visit Mossel Bay where a few major breaks are sure to suit most intermediate to advanced level surfers. You will be in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds you with breathtaking views as you ride the waves toward land.
Another list of spots to write down on your to-visit list are places like J-Bay, the Albatross, as well as Boneyards and Salad Bowls. Imagine you and your mates cruising along the South African coastline in your 1967 VW van. Whilst you’re out there you may even want to consider a few more adrenaline-pumping activities such as bunjee jumping or sky diving. I can tell you from experience that these two sports will only add to your surf experience in South Africa.
