Most Capetonians will know all about the radically powerful wind that was blowing on Sunday. Whilst the Safe House stood strong and came out the other side unscathed, the same can not be said for Wembley Square – the Faircape development in Gardens.

Some of you may not have received the memo regarding Monday. We call it the weather report and it was showing a reading of “stupid” for the whole day. It started off like this: And ended like this: With all sorts happening in between. To check out the shots from the day, check out the […]
Welcome to this week’s 2oceansvibe Show, brought to you by NoMU – eat. drink. live. And WHAT an occasion it is! Who would have thought that Helen Zille would accept the offer of being a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl? My goodness, what a surprise! Although, in all fairness, the allure of joining an exclusive club which […]
I did the right thing and got the new iPhone 3Gs from www.digicape.co.za. Look I’ll be honest, it’s fucking amazing. Then, do you know what I did with it this morning? I’ll tell you what I did with it this morning.. I used this beast of a phone and I shot a video of the […]
It should be noted that yesterday I had not only my first run of Summer, but also my first swim! In the ocean, that is. It was most refreshing. I swam to Robben Island and back. Why lie? So anyway, summer is well and truly here and I’ve already lost count of how many summer […]
Not sure if you know, but we had a really tough day yesterday.. Camps Bay’s exclusive “Bali Bay” Camps Bay beach yesterday – fine! I spotted the new Audi A5 convertible cruising around Oooooh! I’ll be honest – I’m tempted.. I think I might pay a visit to Audi Centre Cape Town! Night night.. […]
I’ve had a stunning Summer’s day today. Popped into Yacht Squadron at the Waterfront (we are now calling this the “backfire” – a new word, by G-Man) to get my current Sebago shoes size as Mother Dearest is currently in the States and insists on buying me a pair. I don’t have a problem with […]
The fact that capetowntrafficcam.co.za gives you live webcam footage of the traffic situation on Cape Town’s roads, is one thing – but there is surely nothing wrong with taking in the sites while you’re doing it? Check out these STUNNING pics spotted on the site this morning. Milnerton region Camps Bay beach Nothing […]
It is tradition here at 2oceansvibe to “call it” when it feels right for us (for you). I remember back in 2007, we called it on September 17. Well it looks like it’s 11 days later this year. Don’t know why – probably a combination of El Nino, global warming and Michael Jackson’s death. Quietly […]
There are conflicting weather reports out there, including the one right here on 2oceansvibe. Believe what you want – personally, I take whatever shows the highest temperatures. That’s just how I roll – extremeness at all times. I found this on my iPhone using a stunning piece of software called WeatherPro. 27 degrees on […]
If everybody had an ocean Across the U.S.A. Then everybody’d be surfin’ Like Californ-i-a You’d seem ’em wearing their baggies Huarachi sandals too A bushy bushy blonde hairdo Surfin’ U.S.A. You’d catch ’em surfin’ at Del Mar (Inside outside U.S.A.) Ventura County line (Inside outside U.S.A.) Santa Cruz and Trestles (Inside outside U.S.A.) Australia’s Narrabeen […]
Day 4 on my return home to Cape Town and I’m more than pleased with the vibe being tossed around by my ex, Mother Nature. Let me take you through some pics taken at The Safe House as I found my way through the day. That is the moon going down at around 06h30 […]
I shouldn’t really be talking about this, as I write from a hammock, somewhere in the Cote d’Azur. But I think it shows my compassion and love for you, given that a lot of you are reading this from the rainy plains of Cape Town. Now I trust we are embracing the change of season? […]
A frothy phenomenon unique to Cape Town’s Sea Point Promenade, are the lager-like foam blowholes; the result of the pressure from the ocean waves blasting through a series of storm water vents positioned on the lawns. A stunning visual treat, slowly becoming more of a drawcard for the tourists flocking to these shores. Photo […]
Whilst it may not contain as much symbolism as, say, the US army pulling down the statue of Saddam Hussein, I think this might be a silent victory for a number of people who work and frequent the area surrounding Long Kloof Studios , Kloof Street, Cape Town. This weekend’s storm was so big and […]
I went for a little walk along Camps Bay beach last Sunday, when the mist was just beginning to get up to it’s tricks. We took in the reverse view from the rocks at the end. I liked what I saw and noticed that the Atlantic Ocean was playing another classic game of “lake-lake.” I’ve […]
Last night brought along a killer sunset which rounded up the weekend weather quite nicely. Those of you who caught last week’s 2oceansvibe Weather Girls Show would have known about that awesome weekend weather that we had. God, it was good! Last night’s sunset (A bit of saturation never hurt anyone..) It was […]
This incredible shot was sent in today by Mark C, showing the view of Cape Town from the Tygerberg region (home to De Grendel wines). Quite something! An ocean of cloud God only knows what is going on under that blanket!
I remember when my all time favourite Caprice waitress, Justine, first described the Dreamy Burger to me. It was something to do with a slab of cheese on top of the meat, and then she began to describe how the hot mushroom sauce is then poured over that slab of cheese, melting it in the […]
What’s the weather looking like for this weekend? Look no further! This week’s 2oceansvibe Weather Girl is none other than one of the The BOMB Surf BOMBshells , 21 year old Miss Cape and former Miss SA finalist, Michelle G from M1 Management. We have a little chat with the little treasure before she gives […]
Although there was a perfect sunset from The Safe House last night, the wind picked up in a big way and blew well into the night. [pause for effect] With the wind pumping through from about 20h00 last night, I was worried it would continue into the morning and that I wouldn’t be able to […]
Wow, this is completely different to what I’m doing. London city today (G20 summit = protestor mayhem). This from Steve B: Outside UBS – London city Seth, Thought you may be interested to see what the London city boys are being subjected to. The soap-dodgers then broke windows at one of the bigger banks. […]
Taken from The Safe House at around 18h50. Something different. I’m fine with that..
Camps Bay Cape Town 15h45 20 March, 2009 Fine!
I got these pics in the middle of the night. Taken at 1am this morning by 2oceansvibe reader, Matt C. For those of you who don’t know the ways of the mountain, Devil’s Peak is the peak on the left of Table Mountain, just above the Tampon Towers. Devil’s Peak, above the Tampon TowersWithout […]
I nipped down between the last article and this one. Just for an hour, you know. Little Beach – on my aceFine! Does that make me a bad person?
The sun shone through very nicely earlier, which resulted in a well deserved little dip at Beta Beach. And now the clouds have come over. Not that it’s a problem from The Safe House, as this is the result.. FINE!
One of the most famous pics to come out of the latest Australian fire tragedy, is this one, showing a fireman giving water to a Koala bear. The bear was first called Ken, but then they found out that he was actually a female. So they went for Sam the Koala Bear. There […]
