Description

Dangers Reef - Kalk Bay Dangers Reef features both right and left-breaking waves over a shallow, rocky bottom. The left works on swells above 2 meters, offering a hollow takeoff into a barrel section, while the right is best on larger swells, providing a longer, less hollow ride. The reef is surfable only at mid to high tide, with a rising tide preferred. Located along the coast road to False Bay, Dangers Reef is less crowded than nearby spots, making it a hidden gem for those seeking a challenge. Access is straightforward, with parking available near the beach. Be cautious of the environment, as the shallow reef can lead to tricky conditions. Lifeguards are present in summer, and while localism is minimal, be aware of potential dangers like urchins and rocks. This spot is ideal for surfers looking for fun, hollow waves without the hassle of heavy crowds.
