Still Bay surf guide

Still Bay is a right-hand point break located in South Africa. This spot offers an interesting vibe, drawing mainly experienced surfers who are looking for decent waves. While it can get crowded, there’s enough space for about 40-50 surfers, especially if the current is running.

The waves here generally pick up well with southeast swells and can handle sizes around 4ft (about 1.2 meters). You'll want to keep an eye on the wind; winds from the west work best, while north-west winds can make things choppy. The setup usually offers long rides, but don’t expect to link up the full 1km. Expect some rogue rocks and a strong rip that can challenge your paddling skills down the point. Be prepared to surf at different tide heights; low, mid, and high tides can all produce quality waves, but keep in mind that the best conditions often favor more expert surfers.

As for the environment, Still Bay can offer some tube time on good days, particularly when the swell is consistent from the east or south-west. It’s a fun spot for those looking to test their skills and ride some powerful, ruler-edged walls, but remember to be mindful of the local conditions and the crowd.
