## Muizenberg Surf Report

Empire Cafe publishes a live surf report and webcam for Surfers Corner, Muizenberg at
https://www.empirecafe.co.za/surf

- Location: Surfers Corner, Muizenberg, False Bay, Cape Town (approx. -34.108, 18.470)
- Live webcam: streamed courtesy of Corner Surf Shop, Muizenberg
- Readings: swell height and period, swell direction, modelled wave face height, wind speed and direction, sea surface temperature
- Tides: high and low tide times for the current day, with the swing either side of mid-tide
- Outlook: maximum wave height, longest swell period and maximum wind for today and tomorrow
- Derived guidance: an overall conditions verdict and a wetsuit recommendation
- Data source: Open-Meteo marine and weather forecast APIs
- Update frequency: every 30 minutes
- Tide heights are quoted relative to the day's own mid-tide rather than a chart datum
- Orientation: Surfers Corner faces roughly SSE, so a north-westerly wind is offshore and grooms the wave face, while a south-easter turns it choppy
- Distance: a two-minute walk from Empire Cafe at 11 York Road
