Witsands is a sheltered bay system on the South African coast characterized by shallow lagoon waters and extensive sandbar formations. The spot faces northeast into Walker Bay, with calm, protected waters ideal for progression. The bay's geography creates a natural funnel that can concentrate whatever wind is available, though overall wind reliability is low at 6.2%. Water temperatures average 17.2°C, requiring light wetsuits year-round. Average wave heights of 1.18m indicate this is primarily a flat-water spot with occasional small swell. Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°), which provides clean side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The shallow, sandy bottom and protected lagoon waters make this suitable for beginners and those developing their skills. Kiters should be mindful of shifting sandbars, tidal influences affecting water depth, and the persistent low wind conditions. This spot works best during high-wind weather windows and is more reliable for practice in flat conditions than for wave riding.
