Milnerton surf guide

Milnerton is a popular surf spot situated on the west coast, known for its average beachbreak. The beach stretches along with nice views of Table Mountain, making it a pleasant place to hang out. It can get crowded, but there’s usually enough space for everyone. The vibe is pretty laid-back, and you can often find a good mix of both beginners and more experienced surfers enjoying the waves.

The surf can be decent here, especially with a south-west swell. It works best when the swell size is around 1ft (0.3m) to overhead. On a good day with southeast winds, you might catch some clean peelers, but watch out since it can closeout at low tide and when the swell gets heavy. There are peaks up and down the beach, allowing for left and right waves. Mid to high tide is the time to be out here; it's more suited for beginners. The waves break over sand, making it a softer landing for those new to surfing.

Milnerton can handle multiple swell directions, including south-east and north-west, which makes it a versatile spot. Remember to keep an eye on the weather and tide conditions to ensure you pick the right time to hit the surf. Enjoy the ride and have fun out there!
