Surf Gas Chambers

Gas Chambers - Melkbosstrand Gas Chambers features a powerful beach break with hollow and fast waves, breaking both right and left over a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. This spot is known for its intensity, making it a bodyboarder's paradise. Access requires a long walk of over 30 minutes from the nearest road, and it is located on private farmland. Despite its remoteness, Gas Chambers is worth the trek, especially when other spots are flat. The waves work best at low tide during a falling tide, with optimal conditions when the swell comes from the southwest and the wind blows from the same direction. The crowd is typically sparse during the week, with only a few surfers on weekends. However, caution is advised due to potential dangers such as rips and undertow, as well as the private nature of the beach.
