| Name: | Haakgat |
|---|---|
| Type: | beach and point |
| Reliability: | inconsistent |
| Best Swell: SW | Offshore Wind: E |
Haakgat in Western Cape is an exposed beach and point break that only works when conditions are just right. Summer offers the favoured conditions for surfing. Offshore winds blow from the east. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the southwest. The beach breaks favour lefts and there is a left hand point break as well. Best around high tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Take care of the strong rips here.
