Ponta do Ouro

Ponta do Ouro is a coastal beach break located on Mozambique's southern coast, facing northeast toward the Indian Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach flanked by dense coastal vegetation and forested areas inland. The ocean shows consistent swell with visible wave patterns and strong water movement indicated by green-white water coloration, suggesting powerful currents and rough conditions. Rocky formations are present in the lower coastal areas. This location experiences moderate wind reliability (9.7%) with an average of 7.1 knots, requiring kiters to be selective about session timing. The rough water conditions and visible swell activity indicate this spot suits intermediate to advanced riders comfortable with powerful conditions. Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach orientation. Kiters should be aware of strong currents, wave power, and limited safe landing zones due to vegetation coverage. Water temperatures average 23.2°C with typical wave heights around 1.47m, though imagery suggests larger swell activity.
