Description

Glen Beach - Camps Bay Glen Beach features a sandy bottom with both right and left breaking waves, offering ordinary to fun power. This spot works best at low and mid tide, particularly during a rising tide. Access is convenient, with instant access (<5 min) from Camps Bay, making it a popular choice for surfers. Located at the northern end of Camps Bay, Glen Beach is a local favorite that attracts a mix of surfers and bodyboarders. The relaxed vibe makes it suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. While the beach can get crowded on weekends, weekdays often see fewer surfers. The sandbars produce decent waves, especially under optimal conditions, but be mindful of potential closures. Localism can be present, so respect the lineup and enjoy the camaraderie among fellow surfers. Always check conditions before heading out to ensure a fun session.
