Southbroom surf guide

Southbroom is a surf spot located on South Africa's coastline, known for its easy access and a laid-back vibe. This place draws in surfers due to its sand-bottomed waves and consistent conditions. It's a popular hangout, so be ready to share the lineup with a few other surfers, especially on good days.

The surf at Southbroom mainly features reliable right-handers that work best with strong south swells. You can expect decent waves when the swell hits 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). The optimal swell direction is Southeast, although it can pick up swells coming from the East and South too. The best wind is usually from the West, which helps to clean up the waves. Southbroom handles low, mid, and high tide, making it accessible for different surfing times. Intermediate surfers will find it enjoyable here, as the wave breaks over rock ledges and sand, providing varying conditions.

If you're looking for more options, head down to Trafalgar, which is just a bit further south. There, you can find some beachbreaks and potentially fast hollow right-handers when the south swells are in full swing.
