Surf Swartvlei Beach

Swartvlei Beach - Sedgefield Swartvlei Beach features a sandy beach break with both right and left waves, ideal for surfers seeking hollow and fast conditions. The spot is best enjoyed at lower tides with swells ranging from 0.9 to 1.8 meters. Access is straightforward, located just before Sedgefield, with instant access available. This picturesque location attracts holiday-goers, particularly during summer, thanks to its proximity to a caravan park. The beach stretches from Gerickes Point to the rivermouth, offering multiple peaks along its length. The main surf area, monitored by lifeguards, is popular but remains relatively uncrowded during the week. Swartvlei Beach is best surfed with a southwest swell and falling tide, though caution is advised due to potential rips and sharks. The stunning scenery, including a distinctive rocky hill resembling a lion, adds to the charm of this surf destination.
