Location: Cape Peninsula, Cape Town, Llandudno
Type of break: Hollow Beach Break
Description:  Depending on the shifting sand banks, Llandudno can deliver awesome barrels. The Gat is a thick wedge that breaks near the boulders to the right of the bay. The Gat means "Hole" in Afrikaans. It's also a nickname for a gun. Both fit the description, because it's a hard-breaking spitting tube. If the Gat isn't working, there is usually a sand bar closer to the middle of the bay where a hollow righthander breaks. Lefts can be ridden on the left side of the bay. It's often crowded and the water in summer is often freezing, down to 11 degrees C after a particularly heavy upwelling, caused by galeforce offshore southeasters that blow for days, pulling deep water to the surface. However, it's great thawing out in the hot sun afterwards! Can be a bit inconsistent. The sandbanks only deliver superlative waves at certain times of the year, mostly between spring and autumn. In winter, it tends to be out of control. ****   Accomodations for the Wave
