When to Plan Your Surfing Retreat with Cape Co-living
The winter months of June to September offer larger swells. We host our Surf-themed retreats in June and September, for a mix of those fabulous swells and slightly warmer temperatures as spring approaches.
But surfing in Cape Town is great year-round, with smaller, consistent waves outside of peak swell season that are perfect for beginners and those looking for a more relaxed surf experience. No matter when you visit, Cape Co-living is ready to welcome you.
