Pringle Bay - South Africa Pringle Bay features a beach break with sandy bottom, producing powerful and hollow waves. The spot is best during mid tide with rising and falling tides, particularly when the swell comes from the South or SouthWest and the wind blows from the Southeast. This surf location is easily accessible, situated between Gordon's Bay and Betty's Bay, with parking available at three entrances and instant access to the beach. The left reef break works well at low tide, offering big lefts and occasional barrels, while the right side provides both left and right waves. Caution is advised due to the presence of sharks, a strong rip tide, and a heavy sandbar that can pull surfers out. Although it can be crowded on weekends, weekdays often see fewer surfers, making it a great spot when conditions align.
