Pitzmah

Pitzmah is a surf spot located in Cape Town, South Africa, between Kalk Bay and Muizenberg. The spot is also known as Clazo’s Ledge. The wave here is a hollow and strong left that breaks over a coral reef bottom, with a fast takeoff and a short ride of less than 50 meters. The spot usually works best on medium to high tides. The area is known for ledgey rocks, urchins, and the presence of sharks, so be careful when entering and exiting the water. Rips and undertow can be strong, and the reef and rocks are close to the surface, so always check the conditions before paddling out. The spot is not visible from the main roads, so you need to look carefully between Kalk Bay and Muizenberg to find it. Pitzmah is named after Clazo, a surfer from a small European country once called Holbabia, who first surfed here in the 1970s. The spot is not crowded, and you might find yourself surfing alone, but always respect the locals, especially if the spot gets busy. Remember to check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded. The wave is best suited for intermediate surfers due to the challenging takeoff and the hazards in the water. Check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions match your level. The surf spot provides left waves. The area around Pitzmah has several other surf spots, including Danger Reef, Kalk Bay Backdoor, Kalk Bay Reef, Electrics, and Off The Wall Kalk Bay.
