Stony Point

Stony Point is a semi-exposed beach break located on the Western Cape coast of South Africa, facing southwest into the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a curved sandy beach bordered by rocky headlands and dense residential development. This is a moderate-exposure site with consistent Atlantic swell and variable wind conditions. The beach break produces steep, powerful waves typical of South African coastal breaks. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the beach. The narrow launch area between rocky outcrops and residential zones limits space for ground handling and launching. Water conditions are rough with strong currents common in this region. Intermediate to advanced kiters will find this spot more suitable due to wave power, rocky hazards, and strong sea state. Beginners should assess conditions carefully and consider protected bays nearby. Winter months (June-August) bring stronger and more consistent winds, while summer offers lighter but less reliable conditions. Respect local regulations and check tide and swell forecasts before launching.
