Die Mond ("the mouth" in Afrikaans) is the Heuningnes River mouth, in the De Mond Nature Reserve. It's a protected wetland of international importance (Ramsar site), home to many bird species. The spot is wild and isolated, with excellent wind conditions but access regulated by the nature reserve.
Works in SE, E and SSE from October to March. The river mouth creates powerful currents at rising and falling tide. Avoid the channel. Ocean swell on the beach.
