Coffee Bay Point is a kite spot on the Wild Coast, one of South Africa's wildest and most pristine coastlines. This rocky point offers committed sailing conditions in a spectacular natural setting. Subtropical waters are warmed by the Agulhas Current (20-24°C). The spot is isolated and only suitable for experienced riders who can handle currents and ocean conditions.
The spot works in SW to S winds, with a south swell. Tide significantly affects conditions: at high tide, the sailing area is deeper and currents stronger. Mid-tide is preferred. The point creates a wind acceleration zone.
