Cape town - The root of the wind and water

The beauty of the Cape's geography is that, whatever the prevailing wind, there's a coastline in sweet opposition to it west, south or east.

When even the local mainstream radio stations carry surf reports alongside their traffic news, you know that the state of the waves and the wind are of widespread concern. And small wonder: the Cape has waves to suit all tastes and abilities. From the gentle rollers that cruise into Muizenberg, most protected corner of False Bay, to the huge monsters that storm in from the Antarctic each year to hit the infamous offshore reef outside Hout Bay known as Dungeons.Popular sailing and kiting spots include Blaauwberg's Dolphin Beach (you know that typical picture of Table Mountain, with water in the foreground and the beautiful table in the background? Imagine yourself leaping out of that water, catching a peek of the view with your big air), wild spots in Table Mountain National Park (where ostriches, baboons and zebra gaze on bored), or the beaches of False Bay (where one can sail right back to the beach, to saunter over to a waterside pub for a post-session pint to celebrate another day well lived.) Further afield, Langebaan is attracting international recognition, with Plettenberg Bay and Mossel Bay more outstanding options.
