About The Dunes

The Dunes, located on the scenic Noordhoek Beach in South Africa's Western Cape, is renowned for its impressive surf. This beach break delivers powerful, hollow waves ranging from 5 to 10 feet, offering both left and right-handers. Conditions are ideal with southwest swells and southeast winds, best enjoyed at medium to high tide. Despite its consistent quality, the long walk to the break ensures a relatively uncrowded experience, making it a unique spot for wave enthusiasts.
