Gonubie Point surf guide

Gonubie Point is a popular surf spot located in South Africa. It's known for its right point break that works best with a medium E-SE swell. The vibe here can get pretty crowded when the surf is on, but it’s a spot that many surfers enjoy. There's also a consistent beach break nearby, making it a versatile place to catch some waves. If you're looking for a place to stay, you’ll find plenty of accommodation options around the area.

The surf here really shines when the swell direction is coming from the East or Southeast, with wave sizes handling around 2ft (0.6 meters) nicely. The waves break over rock ledges and sand, providing a mixed surf experience. You'll usually find the best surf conditions during low to mid tides, with right-hand waves that offer some fun rides. It’s important to note that this spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so make sure you’re comfortable out there if you decide to paddle out.

When it comes to wind, west winds are ideal for Gonubie Point, helping to keep the waves smooth and clean. Keep an eye on the surf report for the best conditions, and be prepared for some company in the water since it can get busy, especially when the surf is firing.
