Still Bay Point

Still Bay Point is the main right-hander at Stilbaai, wrapping around the Morris Point headland just east of the harbour on the Southern Cape coast. It is a grinding right point with a classic mid-break section and, on the bigger days, a deep and thick outside section that ledges over the reef. Rides run 50 to 150 meters normally and stretch well past 200 on a proper winter swell. It starts working around a meter and holds four meters and more, but it is powerful and ledgey rather than forgiving, and a strong rip pushes down the rocks when it is big. Weekdays are usually empty; summer weekends are the only time it gets busy.
