On the water

Wind specificities
The southeast wind (Cape Doctor) is the main wind, blowing side-onshore. It picks up in the early afternoon between October and March, regularly reaching 15-25 knots. This is one of the windiest spots on the Garden Route thanks to the optimal beach orientation. Southwest wind accompanies cold fronts with stronger conditions.
Hazards
Shore break can be powerful during large swells. Lateral currents possible during strong southwest swells. Sharks present in the area — stay vigilant. No permanent lifeguard. Wind can strengthen rapidly in the late afternoon. Avoid riding alone.
