Milnerton

Milnerton is a sheltered lagoon system separated from the open Atlantic by a sandy barrier beach. The spot features a large protected water body connected to the ocean through narrow channels, with residential areas densely developed along the eastern and southern shores. The lagoon offers relatively calm conditions compared to the exposed ocean beach, making it suitable for beginners. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore approach. The average wind reliability of 5.4% suggests this is a marginal spot requiring favorable conditions. Water temperatures around 18°C require thermal protection. The shallow, narrow lagoon with residential proximity means this spot works best for lighter-wind sessions when ocean conditions are too rough for other nearby breaks. Kiters should be aware of the restricted fetch distance, occasional boat traffic, and the need to stay within defined water areas due to development. Low wind reliability indicates this location is not ideal for serious progression but can provide flat-water practice opportunities on suitable days.
