Cape Town - Kite Surfing

Kitesurfing in Cape Town. Learn to Kite Surf in Cape Town: The Ultimate Guide

Cape Town is a globally recognized kitesurfing hot spot. It’s not just the perfect conditions - reliable winds and stunning beaches - its also the excellent accommodation, fantastic beach culture and beautiful mountainous landscape. If you’re kitesurfing at the popular Dolphin Beach (where most kitesurfing schools operate from) you’ll have majestic Table Mountain as a backdrop to all your Instagram shots.

Cape Town’s windy season is from November to March - a reliable 20 to 30 knots a day as the Cape Doctor, our South Easterly wind’s colloquial name, does its thing. There are beaches to suit all levels from absolute beginner to professional kitesurfer. The wild winds and huge waves of Cray Fish Factory and Misty Cliffs are legendary. Laid back Muizenberg is perfect for beginners. Further out from Cape Town, one of the natural jewels of the west coast, is Langebaan Lagoon, the perfect destination for a kitesurfing holiday and one that caters for all levels of kiteboarding skill. Kitesurfing schools and coaches are plentiful, and all equipment can be hired.
