The Hoek surf guide
Surf: The Hoek is nestled under the cliffs below spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive and is considered a world-class tubey A-frame when a small to medium SW-W swell is groomed by SE winds. Bounce off the rocks and eternally shifting sands decide which peak is providing the best air drop into short crystalline barrel, before closing out in the shallows. Stops working after mid tide.
Environment: Spring to autumn is the time when crowds of frothing tube-junkies descend to freeze in the upwelling.
