Surfing in Namaqualand - Orange river to Strandfontein, South Africa

Surf at Klip Baai (Blou Balle), Namaqualand, South Africa
With a solid barrelling right-hander north of Port Nolloth, Klip Baai is great in desert berg winds or light east to northeast winds. Really surfable on high tides and excellent during early pre-wind mornings. 'Blou Balle' is derived from the freezing water.

Surf at Port Nolloth Reef, Namaqualand, South Africa
Off the harbour you will find (after climbing over inner reefs) a right-hand reef and with a running 5 - to 10-foot west swell, wind-free or a light offshore in the morning.

Surf at Groenriviersmond, Namaqualand, South Africa
At the mouth of the Groen River lies Groenriviersmond which is surfed mostly by diamond divers.

Find a bed amongst the daisies.
