– Lagoon Beach: This is the first spot we see when we come from Cape Town. This spot is formed by the rivermouth of the river Milnerton which offers a space of flat and shallow waters. In the open sea we find small to medium waves with flat water inbetween.

– Sunset Beach: This is a large beach with small sand dunes behind it. Here the southeasterly wind is strong and constant during the season. It can start to blow a bit earlier than in other spots more to the west. It’s a spot more frequently visited by windsufers but is becoming increasingly popular for us kitesurfers due to the wind that blows almost side-off-shore from time to time, with good flat water conditions and fun kickers, perfect for freestyle and big airs. This spot is also the point of departure for many downwinds going to Pancake Point, Big bay or even Haakgat.

– Dolphin Beach: During high season this is one of the most crowded spots as the majority of kite schools teach here, therefore any given day during January or February you could easily count 150 kites in the air. Nevertheless, this remains a fantastic spot for getting into waveriding or improving the technique as waves here are between 1 to 3 metres. Watch out during for other kiters during sundown as its becomes pretty difficult to spot them with the intense bright light.

– Kite Beach: This spot is just a few hundred metres downwind from Dolphin Beach. It’s also a very popular spot where you can find many pro-riders training. Conditions here are practically the same as in Dolphin Beach, so just see where it’s less crowded and go into the water.

– Doodle Beachfront: This spot is perfect for waveriding as it’s normally less crowded that in Dolphin Beach or Kite Beach and the conditions are just as good. Many downwinds coming from Sunset Beach tend to finish at this point.
