Windsurfers usually stay there. Waves are incredibly clean just downwind of the rocks that are downwind (called Outers). The waves turn in behind the rocks, makes for a very clean water surface, nice!

Air around 30°C in the summer, down to 15°C in the winter. The water is pretty cold, around 10-15°C in the summer and 13-17°C in the winter. The longer the South Easter (prevailing summer wind) blows, the colder the surface water gets. Doesn't matter much in summer though.

The wind tends to be a touch weaker than in kite beach and tends to arrive a bit later (kite beach is upwind in a SE). When the wind gets very strong, it also tends to get gustier. Can be annoying at times. Wind mostly sideshore from the left. Due to slightly strange local effects, the wind is generally sideshore or onshore. In the summer, the wind is mostly S to SE, but of which are pretty exactly sideshore; this is the perfect wind (called Cape Dr.) and can get very strong at times - up to 40 knots. The wind tends to pick up in the mornings and get stronger. So if super strong winds are predicted, get there early! NW is mostly a bad weather or winter wind. Less reliable, but often associated with big waves. Surfing is possible all year round, although the summer months (December to March) have the best winds. In the winter, you will mostly find NW winds (from the right), although these come rarely. Steady winds. Sideshore: NNW and SSE.

Follow the road till you see the green tourist information house or KFC. The parking on your left is the central one. You really need a car, since there are a lot of spots around the area which you can only get to with a car.

Please watch out in the evenings, the sun sets in your face when sailing out, making it difficult to see other riders. Spot can get crowded, but there are plenty of other parking spots you can go to. Watch out for car thieves. It is best to go to a parking spot where an informal guard will watch over your car.
05-08-22 Rudolf Bredenkamp: I had a great time kiting at bloubergstrand, the wind is so constant and the cape docter always pumps nicely for 12m kites...beautiful beach and langebaan is just around the corner for radical flat water sessions, beautiful B&B`s just by the beach.
