Technical details of Myoli Beach spot

Spot currently open :-)
Spot functioning

The spot works mainly with SE wind in side-onshore. The beach faces due south, making it a reliable spot for the SE thermal. Rideable at all tides, but at low tide the beach is very wide and the shore break further out. Best between 12pm and 5pm in summer. The spot has an established local kite community.

Spot opening date

Open all year round

Required level

Intermediate

On the water

Waves of 1-2 metres, ideal for wave riding with SE wind. Sandy bottom along the entire beach. Moderate chop in strong wind. Waves are regular and less powerful than on the west coast. Water temperature between 17-21°C (Indian Ocean influence). 3/2 wetsuit in summer, 4/3 in winter.

Parking

Free parking at the end of the access road to Myoli Beach. Sufficient space most of the time. Access from the N2 via Sedgefield, follow signs to Myoli Beach. Showers and toilets available at the beach parking. Shops and restaurants a few minutes away in Sedgefield.

Wind specificities

The southeast wind (Cape Doctor) is the main wind, blowing side-onshore. It picks up in the early afternoon between October and March, regularly reaching 15-25 knots. This is one of the windiest spots on the Garden Route thanks to the optimal beach orientation. Southwest wind accompanies cold fronts with stronger conditions.

Hazards

Shore break can be powerful during large swells. Lateral currents possible during strong southwest swells. Sharks present in the area — stay vigilant. No permanent lifeguard. Wind can strengthen rapidly in the late afternoon. Avoid riding alone.
