Description

Cape St. Martin Reef - Britannia Bay Cape St. Martin features a fun left-breaking wave over a rocky reef bottom, characterized by hollow and fast conditions. This spot works best with a northwesterly swell and southerly to southeast winds, making it ideal for experienced surfers. The wave is accessible with a short walk (less than 5 minutes) from Britannia Bay. This surf spot is known for its spacious atmosphere, often less crowded than nearby Elands Bay, allowing for a more enjoyable session. Mornings are typically the best time to catch waves, especially when the swell is strong. Surfers should be cautious of urchins and sharp rocks in the area. With rising and falling tides, Cape St. Martin is a reliable choice for those seeking quality left-handers in a scenic location. Always check the swell forecast before heading out to maximize your experience.
