Description

Onrus - South Africa Onrus features a reef break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The spot is best surfed in light northwesterly winds and a swell of 0.9 to 1.5 meters. It works well at all tides, offering a fun and powerful ride, particularly during summer. Located just before Hermanus, Onrus is easily accessible with instant access within a 5-minute walk. The atmosphere is relaxed, with typically few surfers on weekdays and a slightly busier scene on weekends. The wave breaks into a rip channel, making it a variable peak that can deliver excellent conditions. Surfers should be cautious of rips and rocks, but the overall vibe is inviting for both locals and visitors seeking a quality surf experience.
