Big Waves & Wine: SEE, TASTE, TOUCH, EXPLORE

The Cape is home to some of the best Big Wave Surfing spots in the World. Situated at the foot of Sentinel Rock is Dungeons, one of the sixteen recognized big wave spots around the globe. Dungeons big waves usually occur more frequently during the South African winter, generated from Southern Hemisphere ocean storms known as the Roaring Forties, where swells of up to14.3 m(47 feet) have been recorded.
