Kalk Bay

Expert Reef break Sand bottom Peels left 1–3 m Low tide

A world-class, extremely fast left-hand reef bar next to the Kalk Bay harbour wall that produces perfect barrels on a big southwest swell. Short, shallow and heavy — a rite of passage for Cape Town surfers with proper local knowledge.
