Description

Olifants Rivermouth - Northern Cape This spot features a rivermouth wave that breaks both right and left over a sandy bottom with rocks. The waves can be hollow and fast, making it suitable for experienced surfers. Access is easy, with a short walk of less than 5 minutes from the parking area. Olifants Rivermouth offers a unique surfing experience with minimal crowds, especially during the week. The atmosphere can be pleasant on glassy mornings, although wind often disrupts conditions. While the wave quality may not be the best, it can produce short barrels, particularly on bigger swells. Caution is advised due to the presence of sharks and rips, and it's recommended to stay alert while surfing. The spot is located near Papendorp, providing a secluded environment for those willing to explore beyond more popular surf locations.
