Seconds is a kite spot on Strand beach, named after a local landmark. It's a section of the long beach between Strand and Gordon's Bay, popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing. The spot benefits from the same powerful SE wind crossing False Bay. Less crowded than the main Strand spot, it offers more space for riding.
Works in SE, SSW and SW from October to March. Wind picks up early afternoon. Rideable at all tides. Good spot for freeriding and jumps thanks to available space.
