SURF ATLAS/ AFRICA
Dungeons
🇿🇦 Hout Bay, South Africa
South Africa's big-wave arena, off Hout Bay near Cape Town. Deep Southern Ocean swell rears up over a reef into cold, sharky, multi-storey faces. Long the venue for the Red Bull Big Wave Africa, Dungeons is remote, frigid and genuinely dangerous.
