Dungeons: the wild and ruthless South African wave
Dungeons is the most ferocious wave in South Africa. It means ice-cold water, thick, undulating kelp beds that cover the inside waters, and abundant sea life, including a few local sharks that prey on the seal colony.
The extreme surfing spot is located half a mile (one kilometer) off Hout Bay in Cape Town.
It’s a fickle, highly temperamental, thunderous wave that comes to life near The Sentinel – or Hangberg – at the western end of the mouth of Hout Bay.
