More about Crayfish Factory surfspot

Crayfish Factory is a ferocious right that needs a long period S-SW swell of large proportions to start breaking. It is one of Cape Town's best big wave spots, where extra length, experience and cojones are needed to make the heavy drop and then negotiate the refracting bowl sections further down the long line-up.

Punishing hold downs for bailers and those stupid enough to get caught inside. Kelp, crowds, rips and sharks are lesser hazards than the wave itself.
