About the spot
The other coast: False Bay instead of the Atlantic, noticeably warmer water and a gentle wave over sand. Half of Cape Town learns to surf here, and it's popular for prone foiling and SUP too. When the wind is up you'll see windsurfers, kiters and wingfoilers — the southeaster is onshore here.
Hazards
Muizenberg is the area's surf spot and surfers have right of way. Surfer's Corner is often crowded with surf schools. Add the current at the river mouth, and the Shark Spotters' flags, which you watch.
Launch & parking
Plenty of public parking in Muizenberg.
Wind source
ECMWF via Open-Meteo · Forecast
Cape correction: The ECMWF model runs on a 9 km grid and cannot resolve the Cape’s thermal wind — so in wind from southerly to westerly directions (SE to W) it reads low. Only then do we show the model value times 1.10 (mean) and times 1.20 (gusts). In every other direction, such as the north-westerly frontal winds, we apply no correction — the model resolves those. The factors are our estimate from local knowledge (as of 17 September 2026), not a measurement; they will be replaced once the comparison with measured values is in. Above a 40 kn model mean we apply no correction.
The wind source is not responding. No figures are shown while they are missing.
