Type:	Medium Wave (1-3m), Big Wave (> 3m)
Hazards:	Reefs
Quality:	Clean
Best Tide:	No Info

The spot is behind a point break (left and right break). Beware! When the waves look small and nice near where you launch, they can get huge further down. Happens because the bigger waves turn into the bay. Waves can be very good for wave riding.

Type:	Sand
Size:	Medium
Hazards:	Rocks, Other
Beach Users:	None

Nice sandy beach. Unfortunately, a lot of kelp on it at times, so you can get your lines caught. Quite a bit of space to launch. About 200m downwind, there is a barrier of rocks going out, but it's easy to stay away from it.

Best Months:	January, February, March, December
Wind Type:	Thermal Winds
Best Direction:	SW
Main Direction:	SE, SSE, S

This spot doesn't work very often. It can happen, however, that when the wind is SW in Table View and is too weak, that the wind will come in at Melkbos. It's mostly trial and error. Beware when launching, don't keep your kite overhead. The wind is usually gusty on the beach, but it gets better on the water.

Transport:	Car
Access:	Short Walk

Get directions from

Take the R27 from Cape Town. The easiest is to follow the beach road starting at Dolphin Beach Hotel, Table View. Drive past Big Bay, follow the beach road for 10-15km. When you get into Melkbosstrand, turn left at the petrol station. Follow the road to the beach (about 500m). Turn right. Launch below the rocks, on the beach.
