About this Spot

Lagoon Mouth is a surf spot located in Cape Town, South Africa, in the Milnerton area. The spot is found where the lagoon meets the sea, and you can get there by taking the R27 (Otto Du Plessis Drive) into Milnerton from the City Centre, then turning left at Boundary Road. Park in the public parking lot, walk to the lagoon, paddle across, and then walk about 50 meters down the beach to reach the break. The surf spot provides right waves. Lagoon Mouth is a beach break with a sandy bottom and works on all tides. The waves are consistent and usually break close to shore, with a length of less than 50 meters. The water is cold year-round, so wearing a wetsuit is recommended. The spot is suitable for all levels, but always check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot matches your level. The bank is shaped by sand pushed out as the lagoon empties into the sea, and after winter storms, the right-hand bank is well formed. There are rips and undertow, so be aware of currents and always prioritize safety. The crowd is usually light, with most surfers heading to Milnerton Beach nearby, but you might find a few locals out at Lagoon Mouth. Respect the locals, especially when the spot is crowded, and always follow surf etiquette. The vibe in the water is good as long as everyone waits their turn and avoids hassling.
