About This Spot
Myoli Beach is a coastal beach break on South Africa's southern coast, characterized by a sandy beach facing westward toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a river mouth system creating a lagoon environment that merges with the open ocean, providing varied water conditions. Wave exposure is moderate with consistent swell patterns, averaging 2.19m. The area shows significant rocky formations and reef structures in the nearshore zone, requiring careful navigation. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow along the west-facing coast. The extremely low wind reliability (1.1%) and modest average wind speed (4.7 knots) suggest this location experiences inconsistent thermal and pressure-driven wind patterns typical of temperate coastlines. Water temperatures around 17.9°C require appropriate thermal protection. The spot suits beginner to intermediate kiters during optimal wind windows, though the presence of obstacles and river current dynamics demands local knowledge. Launch and landing areas appear constrained by residential development and natural features.
Hazards & Safety
Coastal rock formations and reef structures visible in nearshore zone
River mouth with strong currents (visible as darker water feature inland)
Shallow lagoon areas with potential for rapid depth changes
Wave compression and refraction around rocky points
