Surf: Once at Mossel Bay, there is a wealth of multi-peak bays lined up along the north facing coast of Cape St Blaize. Outer Pool is the pick, throwing up long, wailing walls with cavernous tubes at low tide, washed by a tiring drift down the point. Inner Pool prefers higher tides and is far slower and fatter. Environment: Out at the Cape St Blaize lighthouse, Inners is south of the tidal pool and Outers is north, but you paddle out to both from the same channel in front of the pool. Other spots on the cape include a peak at Santos Reef and Ding Dangs past the harbour. Then it's miles of beachbreak with Brak River and south-facing pocket beach Herolds Bay worth checking.
