Voelklip - Hermanus Voelklip features a right-breaking reef wave, ideal for small to medium clean swells (0.9-1.8 meters) with light offshore winds. The bottom consists of coral and sharp rocks, providing a powerful and hollow wave, particularly at mid to high tide. This well-known surf spot in Hermanus is easily accessible, located just a short walk from the parking area. It can get crowded during the summer holiday season (December to February), so be prepared for localism. The wave often delivers solid barrels at low tide, attracting both surfers and bodyboarders. With consistent conditions, Voelklip is a reliable choice for those seeking quality surf, especially when the swell comes from the southwest or south. However, caution is advised due to potential hazards like urchins and rocks.
