Updated daily

The photograph of Long Beach in Kommetjie is taken between 6am and 8am and updated by 9am. The photographer waits for a set to indicate the ambient swell in the ocean. Bear in mind that west to SW swell must refract around many reefs - Long Beach will be considerably smaller than the open ocean swell.
