Experience

Established advanced route — local safety planning

Hazards

Advanced open-ocean route: the cited guide notes rocks at a slipway, ground swell, strong gusts, and winter reverse-run wind that can turn hard offshore. Keep Roman Rock lighthouse clear, carry communication/tracking gear, and arrange local logistics.

Parking & access

Route guide says paddlers commonly base/park at the Fish Hoek lifesaving or sailing club and use a shuttle to Miller's Point; this is landing logistics, not guaranteed public parking or a current fee statement: https://www.surfski.wiki/millers_run/millers_run_main_page
