Durban: kite spot summary
Slightly north of Durban, the spot is exclusively reserved for kiters, especially experienced wave kiters.
There are better kite spots in South Africa.
Indeed, Durban Kitebeach is a consistent beach-break, perfect for experienced waveriders.
The conditions for kiting are ideal with a south-east wind (onshore). Waves are not clean with a north-east wind, and the wind is gusty with a south-west wind.
Pros: quality beach-break – spot equipped with showers + toilets
Cons: wind less consistent than on the Atlantic coast – notorious insecurity in Durban
