This is a photo sent to me by a South African Surfer.  The spot is referred to as The Wedge and it is located in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa.  Interestingly, surprisingly large percentage of my visitors are from South Africa and I view it as an area with HUGE potential.

Here is a description of the spot taken from  http://www.wavescape.co.za/

In sight of a large tourist hotel (the Beacon Isle) built on an outcrop of rocks in Plettenberg Bay, the Wedge breaks on the sand close to shore in the left corner of the beach. It gets insanely hollow and powerful for it's size. Swells bounce off some rocks and head parallel to the beach to bump into other oncoming swells, creating the wedge. Not all the waves wedge up in this way. However, if they don't, it usually means a closeout because the wave breaks too close to shore and is not really depending on a particular sandbank to break. A short but zippy little barrel can provide lots of fun in the right conditions, low tide and a clean 3'-4' swell. 

Could this be an untapped skim resource?  There is only one way to find out...
