The Wild Coast boasts some of the South Africa’s best surf spots. There are plenty of beautiful surf setups, with many world class right-hand point breaks, usually with no one else out. The best months of the year are the winter months, starting from April through to late August, when there is consistent clean, high period ground swell and an almost daily off-shore morning land breeze blowing.
