Cape Town, SA

Cape Town in a vibrant city with a lot on offer for both the nomad and the surfer. The meeting point between the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, the area around Cape Town features lines of continuous, uninterrupted swell with beaches working all year round. Don’t let the tropical vibes fool you though as you’ll need a wetsuit for the cold water.
