[edit] Effect of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami
At 19:30 on the evening of 26 December 2004 the sea at Struisbaai unexpectedly pulled right back, leaving a sandy beach, followed five minutes later by a sudden surge of water about 1.5 metres high.[1] This is furthest point in South Africa where the effect of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami was reported to have been felt (see Countries affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake - Countries suffering some casualties and damage). Other distant places where the tsunami was observed are given at Countries affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake - Detection of the tsunami outside the Indian Ocean region.
