About This Spot
Warner Beach is a long, straight sandy beach on South Africa's east coast facing the Indian Ocean. The spot features a wide sand beach with residential and commercial development running parallel to the shoreline, separated by a coastal highway. The relatively sheltered position and gentle beach profile suggest this is primarily a beach break suitable for learning and progression. Side-shore wind from the north would be optimal, though the extremely low wind reliability (1.4%) indicates this location experiences predominantly onshore or offshore wind patterns. The small average wave height of 1.66m reflects moderate swell exposure. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking calmer, more manageable conditions. Key considerations include navigating around beach infrastructure, monitoring tide changes on the wide sand platform, and understanding that consistent wind conditions are rare. The spot is best attempted during periods of north-to-northeast wind when side-shore conditions align with wave direction.
Hazards & Safety
