Seasoned surfers will assure you that it’s well worth braving the chilly waters of the Atlantic Ocean to surf with the locals at Kommetjie – a tiny seaside village in the Peninsula’s Deep South which is renowned for spectacular left-hand beach breaks. If skies are clear, take in the epic backdrop of Hout Bay and Chapman’s Peak in the foreground, with Table Mountain looming in through the peaks. These waves will test the most skilled surfer, and when conditions are spot-on, you’ll be graced with some of the best breaks in the Cape.
