Mid tide
A challenging left-hand reef break near the famous Bluff in Durban. Cave Rock produces hollow, powerful waves that break close to the shore. The wave is known for its heavy, top-to-bottom barrels and is best suited for experienced surfers. Part of Durban's vibrant surf scene, though shark activity remains a concern in the warmer waters.
