The “Cape Doctor” (as the south-easterly wind is fondly known) has been in fine form this summer. It’s blustery dynamic speeds have reached galeforce and tempered by the South Atlantic anticyclone weather system hanging off the peninsula, the seas have responded in huge curling waves. A breed of hardy daredevil windsurfers come out to play – while the spectators marvel in awe at their finesse in this scene at Platboom beach.

Mesmerising!
Stunning shots, Liz.
I’d rather watch – or see your photos than be out there!
What a stunning gallery, Liz! In the bigger version they look even more magnificent. Surfing is not for me though and I’d call those surfers daredevils alright. 🙂
Thanks Dina! Yes, i agree would rather be the spectator. In those formidable waves they take huge chances – still i guess that’s what makes it all the more challenging.
Spectacular!
