Tableview Surf Guide

Tableview in Western Cape is an exposed beach break that only works once in a while with no particular seasonal pattern. The best wind direction is from the east. Groundswells are more common than windswells and the best swell direction is from the southwest. Waves at the beach break both left and right. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Likely to be crowded if working. Watch out for rips and rocks.
