Muizenberg

Cape Town, South Africa

A long, gentle beach break in False Bay with rolling whitewater that suits first-timers. Surf schools line the beachfront.

Swell and wind

This is the swell out at sea, not the surf on the beach. How big it breaks here depends on the swell’s direction and period, the sea floor and the tide. Check a surf report for the size.

Swell: 1.8 m (6 ft) from the W, 8 s period (windswell), out at sea
Wind: Light offshore, 10 km/h (5 knots) from the NW, gusting 29 km/h
Water: 18°C (64°F). Wear a steamer (a full wetsuit).
