Sandy Bay is a sheltered bay in the Langebaan lagoon, offering perfect flat water conditions for kitesurfing. Located north of the main Langebaan spot, this shallow sandy bay is an excellent choice for intermediates wanting to progress in freestyle on flat water. The turquoise water and natural setting of the West Coast National Park make it a beautiful location.
Works in SE from October to March. Tide is important — at low tide, large sand areas emerge and the water body shrinks. Mid to high tide is ideal. Wind picks up early afternoon.
Open all year round
Intermediate
Perfect flat water in the lagoon. Shallow water with sandy bottom. Cool water (14-18°C), 3/2 to 4/3 wetsuit recommended. No waves.
Access via West Coast National Park (entrance fee). Parking on sand. No theft issues inside the national park.
The SE (Cape Doctor) wind is channeled into the lagoon and blows side-shore to side-onshore. Typical strength 15-25 knots from October to March. The lagoon sometimes accelerates the wind through a venturi effect. Thermal conditions in the afternoon.
Stingrays: watch for stingrays in shallow water, shuffle your feet. Sharp shells in some areas. Dehydration from hot dry wind. Respect protected areas of the national park.
