Popular routes, timing, etc.
Approach
The following waypoints should be used (as a guide only) in the approach to Hout Bay Harbour:
- wp1 [[Hout Bay#wp1|wp1]] 34°04.106′S, 18°21.016′E (entrance to the bay)
- wp2 [[Hout Bay#wp2|wp2]] 34°03.207′S, 18°21.332′E
- wp3 [[Hout Bay#wp3|wp3]] 34°02.973′S, 18°21.198′E
- wp4 [[Hout Bay#wp4|wp4]] 34°03.070′S, 18°20.983′E (harbour entrance)
Dangers:
- Vessels approaching from the North should give the mainland a wide berth past "Oude Schip" as there are many submerged rocks in that area.
- Vessels approaching from the South should give Kommetjie a wide berth due to large waves in that area at times.
- All Vessels should note the presence of Vulcan Rock (34|03.967|S|18|18.582|E), a large semi-submerged rock that can not always be seen in the Northern approach.
