Description

Horse Trails - South Africa Horse Trails features a sandbar wave that breaks both right and left over a sandy bottom. The waves are known for being hollow, powerful, and fun, making it a desirable spot for surfers. It is accessible via a short walk of 5-15 minutes and has public access. This underrated surf spot offers a unique atmosphere, often feeling private even when other surfers are around. It works best at mid tide with rising and falling tides, and is ideal when the swell comes from the southwest and the wind from the east or northeast. During the week, the crowd is sparse, while weekends see only a few surfers. However, caution is advised due to potential rips, undertow, and the presence of sharks.
