When it gets really big in Table Bay, this is an awesome and slightly scary surf spot. Big swells bounce off the harbour wall without losing much force and turn into big cross swells.

The cross swells join up with swells coming straight in to create a wedge effect and 4 ft waves turn into 8 ft peaks that make for a very hairy takeoff but can give you the ride of your life.

Don't surf this break too often because as you can see from the satellite photo the river spews a bit of pollution into the ocean here and I'm not sure how safe it is.
