Crayfish factory is a surfing spot near Kommetjie in South Africa. Its name is derived from the now non-operational crayfish factory nearby. It features heavy, cold waves that are known to break surfboards and limbs.The break needs a massive south to southwest swell and only starts breaking when the other big wave spots are already double overhead.

Pitching on a deep water reef, then sending big spitting barrels along a rock ledge to the safety of the channel. The lips are thick and the wave is heavy.
