Baboon Point surf guide

Baboon Point is a surf spot located in Santa Helena Bay. It offers a mix of beachbreaks and some reef options, making it worth a visit if the conditions are right. The area is known for its black cliffs, which provide some shelter and make for a scenic backdrop while you ride the waves. This spot can be less crowded than some of the more popular locations, giving you a chance to enjoy a session in relative peace.

The surf here works best with a SouthWest swell, and you can expect waves that handle sizes of around 2ft (0.6 meters). The waves break over rock ledges, creating primarily lefts, which can be fun if the conditions are on your side. This spot is best with low to mid tides, and you'll want to catch it when the wind is coming from the East. It's more suited for intermediate surfers, so be ready for some challenges, especially if you're more used to beginner breaks.

If you're planning to surf Baboon Point, be aware that it can get blown out by SouthWest winds, so check the forecast before heading out. The longer stretches of beach may not form well and could be better for beginners, but the action at Baboon Point is mostly for those looking to take their surfing up a notch.
