NAMAQUA CABINS - info

Located 120km west of Springbok on the harsh but beautifull diamond coast of South Africa and in close proximity to the Richtersveld National Park.

The Diamond Route has lured geologists, adventurers and fortune seekers for over a century. Some were lucky while the fabulous riches forever avoided others all of their lives.
Many of the gem quality diamonds remain buried deep under the desert sands while other must be dived out of the ice cold waters of the Benguela Current. Along this route you will step into a past that is rich in history, heartache and wayward romance. Just follow the glitter of the “shiny stones”.

Swell predictions can be fickle, espcially for the right conditions. swell is plentiful up by Namaqua Cabinsbut the wind can mess things up abit. Best time of year is from May through to September and July probably the best month for consistant east wind off-shores. North westerlies bring in warmer water and the right-handers work well.

The prevailing southerly usually comes up by mid-morning and the lefts still function with the cross shore conditions, the rights crumble but can still be surfed!
