Character

01

Sandkasteel sits inside the jeffreys bay point system guidance area. The regional pattern suggests surf break exposure, but the exact takeoff, bottom shape and section behaviour are not yet spot calibrated.

Best setup

02

S–SW · long period swell and sw–w offshore form the regional baseline. Section dependent remains guidance only until this individual break receives a local profile.

Lineup read

03

Read the active peak from shore and pay particular attention to shallow rock and reef, high-speed linking sections, cold-water currents. Local signs and advice always take priority over regional guidance.
