Kalk Bay Reef surf guide

Surf: The coast road heading north around False Bay passes some fickle reefs like Glencairn and playful beachbreaks at Fish Hoek and Clovelly, before skirting the harbour to Kalk Bay Reef. This slab of reef regularly produces machine-like left pipes that are perfect for bodyboarders and pit pilots. Becomes a world-class wave when overhead SE swell meets understrength NW wind. Environment: Sucky, shallow and super-crowded! There's a similar ledge up the beach at Dangers or a less manic right at Bailey's Cottage.
