Description

Thicklip - Strand Street Thicklip is a left-breaking reef wave characterized by fast and powerful conditions over flat rocks. Located at coordinates -22.6619 latitude and 14.5220 longitude, it offers instant access within 5 minutes of walking. The spot works best at mid to high tide, particularly with swells from the west and southwest, while east and northeast winds are preferred. Situated near a rock groyne, Thicklip is known for its bowl-like waves and consistent surf, making it a reliable choice for competitions. While the crowd is generally sparse during the week, weekends can see a few surfers. Caution is advised due to the rocky bottom, and awareness of wind conditions is crucial, as the waves can become blown out. Overall, Thicklip provides solid lefts, but surfers should choose their days wisely to maximize their experience.
