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.

Webcam

OK, it's not of Derdesteen itself, but this webcam is at Big Bay, which is about one mile south of Derdesteen and is an excellent indicator of what's happening in the area. In my experience, you can normally add 1 to 2 feet to the Big Bay swell to get an idea of what to expect at Derdesteen. This only applies in small to moderate swell, for swell > 6 foot all bets are off.
