Surfing: Big Bay - Capetown Wind Direction: SE Wind Stength: 25knots Surf / Sea State: 3 foot clean with a rip Air Temperature: 22C Sea Temperature: cold!! Weather: Glorious Sunshine Max Speed: Distance Covered:
After the disapointment of yesterday we spoke to one of the locals from the
hostel and he reckoned we should head up the coast past Table view and try
the beaches up there.
The beach past big bay was super long so we drove past it first and then up
and down to find a good surf spot. Found a good place about 1k north of big
bay resort and joined one other surfer out there. It looked as though there
would be a strong current with the crosshore wind and there was. It was a
mean one so it was constant paddling to stay in the same spot.
We didnt stay out long as it was too tiring so we called it a day and drove
to the resoprt to watch all the kitesurfers. There were absolutely tonnes
of them, never seen so many in one place before. There musta been at least
40 or so with the impressive Table mountain in the background so wwas
pretty scenic. Driving back towards Capetown, there were loadsa windsurfers
in some lagoon on the left had side of the motorway who were screaming
along in the strong winds.
then went to Camps bay to check the surf there but it was rubbish so
chilled out on the beach ther for a while and bodysurfed in the small waves
with no wetsuit which was painful!!
