The vibrant atmosphere, surf schools, and rental shops make it easy for you to dive in and enjoy the waves. A must-visit for both locals and tourists!

The best season for surfing in Muizenberg is typically during the South African summer, from November to March. During this period, you can expect more consistent, smaller waves that are perfect for beginners and intermediate surfers.

However, if you’re an experienced surfer looking for bigger waves, the winter months (from May to August) can offer larger swells.
