South Africa's premier big wave spot, located off Hout Bay below the Sentinel mountain. Dungeons produces massive, cold-water peaks in the heart of great white shark territory. The wave can hold 50+ foot faces and requires boat or jet ski access. Part of the WSL Big Wave Tour, it's one of the most challenging and intimidating waves in the world.
