Description:
This is quite a rugged spot
- as you will see if you find the road to get you there! Macassar can
deliver excellent conditions on the right days.
Wind Conditions:
SE: Port Tack
SW: Port Tack
Wave Conditions:
There
is no protection from the Cape Peninsula, or the eastern side of False
Bay, so the Atlantic Swell breaks directly onto the beach, which means
bigger waves.
Additional Information:
Before the Great White
Shark was almost driven to extinction, Macassar was apparently the
place to go to try and catch them! An old boardsailing legend tells of
a channel in the sea bed, which has a current which the sharks
(affectionately known as “Johnnies” here in South Africa) cruise around
in, and this apparently brings the sharks right out to Macassar.
Directions:
Take
De Waal Drive from Cape Town, and then get onto the N2 Highway. Drive
past the airport, for about 35 kms, until you get to the
Macassar/Firgrove off-ramp. On top of the bridge, turn right, and drive
into Macassar. The sea is on your left. You are looking for a dirt road
on your left, at a Sewerage Works. Once you find the road, follow it
all the way - it twists and turns, but you will eventually get to a
beach.
