In summer a romping South Easter blowing in from False Bay means that Table Mountain will don her famous tablecloth and ruin all your holiday plans. The Table Mountain Aerial Cable car stops operating when the winds reach 45km/hour, Robben Island cancels ferry trips and most outing to the beaches will be sandblasted. Wind speeds up to 160km/hour have been recorded over Table Bay! Never fear AWOL’s team of local Capetonians have many years of experience on finding outdoor experiences to make the most of the prevailing summer wind.

As the temperatures are kept moderate by the cooler air blowing in from the Atlantic, a hike up Table Mountain can still enjoyed with the cooler ‘breeze’. AWOL Tours prefers to take guests up Skeleton Gorge which is nicely protected as you hike up through the Afro-Montane forests in the sheltered gorges. A hike up Lion’s Head would also be spectacular to watch the famous table cloth being pulled over Table Mountain.
On our Cape Peninsula cycle tours we have 2 suggested cycling routes and we always plan it that you can always enjoy the tailwinds. With the wind on your back you can comfortably cruise past Scarborough and Misty Cliffs into Kommetjie with spectacular views of Chapman’s Peak.
Kite surfers are out in full force on Muizenberg and Blouberg beach, so a walk on wet sand to watch them twist and leap the waves. If you prefer to work on your suntan, head for Clifton beach as it’s nicely protected by Lion’s Head.
The Southeaster seldom brings rain so be grateful for the sunshine days and remember the Cape Doctor winds keep Cape Town clean and blow all the pollution away! The Cape Doctor usually starts blowing from end of August to March and is most active in November. The weather forecast predicts a drop in winds in on Tuesday the 2nd January 2011 in time for AWOL’s planned 3 day cycle tour around the Peninsula going from the City past Llandundo into Hout Bay and over Chapmans Peak in Noordhoek.
