WHAT IS THE CAPE EFFECT?
The Cape Effect is the name we give to the wind phenomenon often experienced along the Cape Naturaliste peninsula. Caused by the moderating effect of water on both sides of the land, surfers and fishermen often report favourable wind conditions in the local area when it's on-shore elsewhere along the coast.
As lovers of the ocean and long time locals it's from this phenomenon that we have drawn the inspiration for our brand and our name.
