KwaZulu Natal boasts a coast that is a veritable surfer's paradise. There are fantastic waves far and wide, including hollow beach breaks, points and a few classic reef breaks. The water temperature is warm all year round so the waves are always waiting for your riding skills - no wetsuit needed! The most consistent surf is found in the winter months from May through to August. This is mainly due to the cold fronts that sweep up the coast from the Cape, bringing solid six to eight-foot swells. In summer the swell tends to be a bit smaller with pleasurable surf available at the many beach breaks. Some hot surf spots in and around Durban are at New Pier, Bay of Plenty, Cave Rock, St Mike's, Umdloti, Ballito and Alkanstrand.
