Surf Tidle Pool

Tidle Pool - South Africa This right-hand reef break features powerful and fast waves over a sharp coral reef. The wave is best during medium-sized swells on a rising tide, working at all tides. Access is easy with public parking available, and it requires less than a 5-minute walk to the break. Tidle Pool is a local favorite, known for its heavy waves that can shred feet due to the sea-urchin infested reef. The spot is ideal for early morning winter swells, but caution is advised during larger swells due to a strong rip that can pull surfers away from the break. While it can be challenging to paddle out during low tide, it becomes more manageable at high tide. The area remains relatively uncrowded throughout the week, making it a perfect spot for those seeking a less populated surf experience.
