You can stay in the mouth of the river and in the lagoon for nice flat water or you can take the waves on an big swell in the back for high air jumps, waves not too big, not too much white water, but you see sharks every once in a while, luckily they are not bothered. Nice soft sand with no pebbles, rocks only at one spot of the mouth of the river, but easily avoidable, huge beach, 5km of open space, 80meters wide and hardly any people on the beach. It's almost always windy in summer time, November to March, very strong conditions with the wind normally peaking at 3-4pm, it is a great spot for windsurfers as well as the wind loves to blow gale force plenty of times, Port Elizabeth is one of the windiest cities if not the windiest in the world. The NE and SW are both constant, with the low pressure being the SW and the high pressure being the NE. During summer the air is up to 30°C and water up to 24°C. Water: Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
