Mossel Bay has some really cool surf spots. The Point is unique. It has two waves breaking next to each other, Inner Pool and Outer Pool. The prevailing wind is an offshore south westerly, which brings the swell from Cape Town. Inner Pool is the playground for most locals. What makes Outer Pool famous is the length of the ride and the barrel down at the bottom section.
Mystery Reef is the local big wave spot. The perfect A-frame peak can be surfed on smaller days, but you'll need guts to surf these walls on tougher days. 
Moving along the coast is Ding Dang, a classic and old favourite, offering two options. A-frame barrelling waves give either a good hollow, barrelling left or long right walls for practising surfing wizardry. For the surfer starting out, Diaz Beach is the place to be. It´s a great beach break, which means no rocks, and there are a few different waves to avoid overcrowding. This is where you want to learn your balance, your pop-up and your first few moves.
