Suiderstrand

Suiderstrand is a beach break located on South Africa's southern coast, characterized by multiple sandy bays separated by rocky headlands. The coastline faces northeast, with two primary bays offering different conditions. The spot features moderate wave exposure with average 2.46m swells and strong wind reliability challenges at only 20.5%. Best conditions occur with northwest to northwesterly winds (315°), which provide clean side-shore conditions for the main beach break. Water temperatures average 17.2°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. The presence of visible reef formations and rocky outcrops demands intermediate-level skill for safe navigation. Multiple bays allow riders to select sheltered or exposed options based on conditions. The relatively low wind reliability suggests this spot works best during seasonal wind patterns. Suitable for intermediate kiters familiar with reef awareness and variable bottom conditions. Local geography suggests checking tide and swell direction before launching.
