Glen Eden Point is a kite spot on a rocky point north of East London, between Cintsa and Gonubie. This exposed spot offers committed conditions with direct ocean swell and coastal currents. Subtropical waters are warm (20-24°C) thanks to the Agulhas Current. Reserved for experienced riders due to isolation and ocean conditions.
The spot works in SW to S winds with south swell. The point creates a wind acceleration zone and wave formation. Tide influences conditions: at high tide, rocks are covered but currents stronger. Best at mid falling tide.
Open ocean with south swell. Warm subtropical water (20-24°C). Rocky bottom at the point, sandy in adjacent coves. Noticeable coastal currents. Quality waves for wave riding.
