Surf Crayfish Reef

Crayfish Reef - South Africa Crayfish Reef features a left-breaking reef wave characterized by hollow and powerful conditions. The bottom consists of sharp coral and rocks, making it essential for surfers to be cautious. The spot works best at low and mid tide, particularly during a rising tide, with optimal conditions when the wind is from the east. Access is straightforward; drive to the end of 1st Avenue for instant access. Surfers must jump off the rocks and paddle through kelp to reach the reef, which can be a long haul over a deep channel. The atmosphere can be eerie due to its deep water and occasional shark sightings. While the spot is generally empty during the week, expect a few surfers on weekends. Respect the locals and time your entry well to enjoy the shifty left peak, which can deliver epic waves when conditions align.
