- LOCATED IN BETWEEN 2 IMPORTANT TOURSIM LOCATION OF kONARK SUN TEMPLE AND pURI BEACH TOWN.
-
This is a rare opportunity, the wind must be very south to make it into the bay, but when it does it makes the local surf break "crazies" accessible to kitesurfers and windsurfers alike but not for the faint hearted as the beach break here is extremely heavy and a board breaker at that!
-
Kalk Bay is a quaint little town on the east coast of the Cape Peninsula. It's neatly sandwiched in-between Fish Hoek and Muizenberg - if you're driving along the Main Rd, don't blink because you'll miss it.
The wave itself is world-class on the right day, with heavy lips unleashing their full fury on the K-Bay slab, much to the delight of big wave fundis and spectators alike.
-
The Bluff is about 10-20 mins drive from Durban central, but despite its proximity to the hustle and bustle of Durban, its laid back groove bears more resemblance to the small towns up and down the South Coast of Kwazulu Natal. If you're respectful, the locals are cool and the mellow vibe is calming.
The waves can get world class, with plenty of variety for all skill levels. If you're coming to Durban, the Bluff is definitely worth the short trip.
-
The Kwazulu Natal South Coast is littered with dozens of alcoves, points and beach breaks - Green Point is just one, albeit a finer one. You could say that it is the most well-known 'secret spot' in Kwazulu Natal and can get crowded when folks get wind of a good swell hitting it.
It is about a 30 - 45 minute drive south of Durban, just drive along the M4 and look out for the signpost to Clansthal Caravan Park.
-
This spot is strictly for advanced kitesurfing, there is always a huge shorebreak and the wind is on-shore, the main road runs parallel to the beach.
The beach tends to have debris from the nearby river but there is always somewhere to launch. there isn't another beach closeby upcoast or downcoast so don't venture out of the bay. There are no life guards, no security, no facilities.
-
Pigeon Point is a flat water spot, most of it protected by a barrier reef approx 2 miles offshore.
There are a few main channels in and out of the reef, the waves there are perfect for the advanced kitesurfer or windsurfer. The wind is usually somewhere between side-shore and on-shore during the season, off season produces a more uncertain side-off.
This spot is well known for the "nylon pool" a sky blue area inside the reef with a sandy bottom, used mainly for begginers doing a down-winder, the glass bottomed boats also come here for the swimming pool effect against the glass.
-
New Pier is a warm water, sand-bottomed right-hander with the hotels of the Golden Mile forming its backdrop. It is home to the annual Good Wave competition for the simple reason that is easily one of the most consistent waves in Kwazulu Natal. It was no coincidence that the 5 star Mr. Price Pro was held at North Beach (the beach just next door) for many years.
For a long time, New Pier has been a breeding ground for young emerging talent. If you'd like a case in point, it is the beach that current world no. 2 and all-round freak show, Jordy Smith, calls home. Yes, it can be a competitive lineup when the waves fire, but you can also get it on a good day without too much of a bun fight.
