Cannon Rocks

Cannon Rocks is a beach break located on the Eastern Cape coast of South Africa, characterized by a northeast-facing sandy beach backed by residential development and grazing land. The spot features consistent wave action from Atlantic swells with visible wave patterns indicating moderate fetch and exposure to ocean conditions. The beach provides a natural launch and landing area, though access appears limited to specific sections due to residential boundaries. The northeast-facing orientation makes northwest winds (315°) ideal for side-shore conditions. Water conditions are typically rough with average waves around 2.4m and strong water movement evident from the aerial view. The spot suits intermediate riders with experience in rougher water and wave management. Hazards include rocky features visible along portions of the shoreline, shallow sections near the beach, and variable tide conditions affecting launch conditions. Wind reliability is relatively low at 9.6%, suggesting inconsistent kiteable days. Local knowledge regarding seasonal patterns and access permissions is recommended before visiting.
