Ability Level
Intermediate - advanced
It’s a wedge, and it barrels. You need a quick takeoff and good knowledge of riding barrels and side waves.
Local Vibe
Doable
Used to be quite aggro with surfers from Milnerton and Pinelands, now pretty mellow.
Crowd Factor
Moderate
Because it breaks so close to the shore and is generally quite small, Wedge gets busy.
Spot Rating
Fun
When it’s on, there are tricky takeoffs but barrels and air sections on most waves.
Shoulder Burn
Light
Short paddle out, lots of waves. You can catch so many waves without exertion.
Water Quality
Dirty
The water can get so dirty that it isn’t even worth going for a surf.
