A smooth acrobatic move for the Ballito Pro crowds.<br />

Crowds watching the Ballito Pro action on Willard Beach.<br />
Individual surf spots<br />
Besides surfing in the Ballito Pro, local surfers love<br />
surfing at Ballito, which sports deep tube sections that<br />
break on a shallow sandbank beyond the rocks. You can<br />
sometimes catch a swell of up to six feet in light winds.<br />
Also popular when the swell is ‘cooking’ are Surfers<br />
Beach (just north of Willard Beach), Salmon Bay (which<br />
features one of the few easterly swells and left break),<br />
Tiffany’s (north of Salt Rock’s main beach) or Salt Rock’s<br />
main beach itself. Thompson’s Bay is also popular for its<br />
sick barrels when there’s a moderate south swell, land<br />
breeze and low tide. Shark nets protect the main beaches<br />
but locals tend to not worry so much about sharks unless<br />
they are near a river mouth.<br />
