Description

Kanon - Southern Cape Kanon is a right-hand point break featuring a reef bottom with sharp rocks and sand. The wave is known for its hollow, fast, and powerful characteristics, breaking primarily during solid southeasterly swells. It is located near Vlees Bay, with instant access requiring less than a 5-minute walk. This surf spot is tucked away, offering an exhilarating atmosphere, especially when the conditions align, typically in winter. While it boasts one of the longest waves in South Africa, it only works a few times a year, making it a rare gem for surfers. The area is known for its shark presence, adding an element of caution. Weekdays are generally empty, but expect crowds on weekends. Be mindful of localism and rocky hazards while enjoying this exceptional surf experience.
