Nature's Valley

Nature's Valley is an S-facing beach break in Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape, South Africa. It picks up swell from ESE to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 44% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
