Victoria Bay Monday 29th December

Went to Victoria Bay near George yesterday. Victoria Bay is the best surfing spot in this part of the country.  George is located in the Southern part of the Cape approximately 400 km east of Cape Town. The wind blows about 10% of the time  in this area in summer as opposed to Cape Town where is blows about 50% of the time. So in the absence of wind we went surfing. The bay is in the form of a V and has a steep rocky hill on one side and a steeply stepping hill with a row of houses just above sea level on the other. The funnel shape of the bay concentrates the swells into a good shorebreak whilst there is a really good point break on one of the entry sides of the V.  Kitesurfing here is not an option with the steep slopes on the sides and the smallish width of the bay. A couple of photos taken by Ariel Kappa. I was in the water.
