I do not Surf, was there for some Fishing, the water was to cold to fish so ended up chilling, walking the beach and watching the Lads Surf. Weather came in and we packed up our Camping gear and headed over to Vleesbaai, 6 Hours Drive from Elands Bay.
Vleesbaai:

Vleesbaai's Weather was amazing there was little wind so the Surf was not that great, but the fishing was amazing.
Day 1: Vleesbaai, i woke up very Early to go and Cut Red Bait and Fish, i Caught a Beautiful Blacktail that we fried in the Pan with some french fries no Photo's my charger broke had to go buy new one the next day.
Day 2: I went Spear fishing, was amazing had about 3 meters (9.8 ft) visibility. The first Rock i found, dived underneath it, and there was a beautiful cave, full of fish hiding. I shot 3 Belman Kobs and 1 Blacktail:

Day 3: Another great Spearfishing day, shot 2 Zebra fish, 2 blacktails, 2 Belman Kobs, 1 was way undersize, was very sandy waters and dark hole he was hiding in, truly looked a lot larger underwater.

Day 4 and 5 Was beach days for the Ocean visibility was not to great for spearing and we had more than enough meat for next couple of days, I did try Fishing, it is currently GALJOEN season in South Africa, Galjoen is our National fish and is protected, season is closed for 5 months off the year October - February. I was not successful in catching one the entire week in Vleesbaai.
Day 6: Last day in Vleesbaai and i decided to go do some night fishing off the rocks, it was full moon and 1 hour after sunset the Elwe/Shad also known as Blue fish in US started biting it was an amazing night caught and released a few fish but kept the 3 Largest ones:
