Really flat water on the low tide and slightly choppier on the high. Mainly a flat water site but during the months of July to October sometimes get small fun waves to ride.
The beach is soft white sand with enough room to launch kites, especially on the low tide when the water retreats a lot. On the low tide site is fine for beginners and the more experienced but on high tide gets a bit trickier and is better for the more experienced. Need to enter and exit between 2 rock jetties about 50m apart. On the low you can launch off the sand bank way past these jetties so no problem for beginners. Can have long runs out to the small islands off the main coast.
The windy season is split into two: mid December to February, which is known as the Kaskazi, this normally blows from the North at around 15-18 knots. The Kuzi blows from the South to SE from May to October, but can start in April. The Kuzi is the stronger of the two and blows most days between 15-25 knots but averages between 18-20 knots. Calmer in the morning and gets stronger normally after lunch. Best months are July, August and September where you can expect excellent wind most days.
Head North from Dar es Salaam on the New Bogomayo Road about 20km until you get to Mbezi Beach Village, just after the village you will see a wooden sign on the right saying White Sands Hotel. Turn right here and follow this road about 4km to the White Sands resort. Enter the resort and park in the parking lot. Access the beach directly from here.
