Long Beach is one of Cape Town’s most renowned surfing spot. Just off it you can see the mighty Sunset reef. During the summer months it is invaded by all the gromits and “I’m so cool” surfers, and has an offshore wind blowing. In Winter, it’s a little more hardcore. The wind comes Onshore, with the frontal storms, then the swell starts picking up and then the rain comes. Once the wind drops, the swell remains and one can watch the big wave tow in crew getting slotted either at Sunset or Dungeons.

Synergy 8, headgear to keep the head warm, full suit armour, and 3 hours of blasting fun. It’s pretty scarry stuff as the swell picks up and the beach break becomes treacherous. You also have to contend with floating Kelp (Large cold water Algae)\u00c2\u00a0 The water is always cold and the clouds roll in like an unstoppable army of darkness. Sometimes the wind is super gusty, today it was nice and steady. Synergy 8 fully powered riding waves and getting some hang time too. Not the right place to practice the unhooked stuff, waves and fast approaching beach make it a little hard.<\/p>\n
But 3 hours of wind and waves definitly put a smile on my face…<\/p>\n
Till the next session.<\/p>\n
Ciao<\/p>\n
