Lovely video, what I really find interesting is I flew to CPT and drove to Gordon's Bay in December to view a few properties since I am moving there. During my visit the water was very very blue! in fact turquoise blue like a tropical island at bikini beach and the small craft harbour, False bay from the Steenbras Dam viewing point was blue like the Mediterranean sea. In your video the water has more of a green tone to it, I'm going to be moving there next month, will send out my drone and see if its the same :)
Thanks for the comment Eugene. Good luck with the move to CPT, I am sure you will be pleased with your decision. I moved to CPT in 1996 and never regret it. The colour of the water is affected by various factors. One being the amount of sand being in suspension due to currents. Storms, tides, temperature change and currents could cause the visibility in the water to change and ultimately affect the perceived water colour. The amount of sunlight also plays a role. Cloudy days also looks different. I suppose that is why we are so intrigued by the ocean, it changes continuously. Welcome to Cape Town!
