About Yzerfontein
Yzerfontein, a charming seaside village in South Africa's Western Cape, boasts a stunning coastline featuring both rocky shores and pristine white sandy beaches, including the renowned "16-Mile Beach". The local surf break, often called Schaap Eiland, is celebrated for its unique wedge-shaped wave that peels off a flat rock slab, delivering hollow, fast, and powerful left-handers. This captivating spot, situated roughly 80 kilometers north of Cape Town, offers an exhilarating experience for intermediate surfers seeking challenging conditions.
