Strand Beach

Strand Beach is an SSW-facing beach break in Strand, Western Cape, South Africa. It picks up swell from S to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 80% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNE: light winds or NNE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSW onshores chop it up.
