Witsands

Kitesurfing spot information

Witands is a great kitesurfing spot for riders who wants to train their wave riding skills. The wave break has a perfect left and right break. Waves can get really big here especially in winter. Best winds for kitesurfing at Witsands are S and SE. NW is off shore, but has mostly the cleanest waves. SW is pretty rare but would be straight on shore so not great. The shore break of the kitesurfing spot Witsands can be brutal, strong rips and rocks with gusty winds doesn't make Witsands ideal for learning kitesurfing.
