Surfing at Derdesteen

This little-known surfing spot is one of the jewels of Cape Town. An A-framing beach break, it is has plenty of take-off points and can accommodate many surfers. Working best in Autumn and Winter, when the prevailing summer wind has died down and tides/currents/storms have shifted the sand into the optimum places, you can count on many a glassy session with one of the finest views in the surfing world.

Ode to Derdesteen

Why Derdesteen?
  • fantastic setting, under the gaze of Table Mountain
  • big (even when crowded there's enough space for everyone)
  • excellent A-framing breaks in most conditions (i.e. where the swell is between 2 and 5 foot)
  • waves are fast and exciting
To those who say it lacks facilities, we say "Big Bay"; to those who say rides are too short, we say "the Atlantic isn't for sissies."
