Cool idea man

Yah Scottys for me is the best break on the South Coast up until Southbroom. It also breaks right further into the Bay if the point crowd get too much. The only problem with Scotty's is that Caravan Park, and the point at Caravan Park called Pipe doesn't seem to work as it used to. We used to score that place breaking at 4-5 feet for about 150m, a really rolling easy takeoff into a long face, adn then it hits the inside section and just goes BOOM!!

As with all South Coast breaks, wind tends to stuff things up. The bathing area side is fairly sheltered from a westerly tho, so if the rest of the coast is blown out, it is still worth checking out on a small swell. Otherwise yah, light west or no wind with a good groundswell running and it goes ballistic. Biggest I have ridden it is 6 - 7 feet, the place could probably handle bigger, although I would probably be watching at that point!

Another break to add to your list: Coffee Bay, Transkei. I surfed it last week while on holiday there. If you are staying at the backpackers you walk either around the Coffee Bay headland, or along the gravel road and then around the lagoon. Absolutely beautiful place to surf. No-one else was surfing any of the three days I surfed, and there are no shark nets, so felt a little bit hairy but I got used to it!

Got some fun waves but didn't score big time. There is a right point along the edge of the Bay. In the middle of the Bay there is a good left, apparently excellent on high tide, got to be careful of the current tho. The paddle can be hectic, and this place is pretty fickle, but on the right day wheeww could be on.
