FIELD NOTES

Questions travellers ask

When is the best time to surf the East Coast?
Winter, roughly April to September, brings the most consistent groundswell to KwaZulu-Natal and Jeffreys Bay, often with lighter morning winds. Summer cyclone swells can light up Durban, and the warm Mozambique Current keeps the water mild all year.
How large are the groups?
Every surf expedition is private, from a solo surfer to a family. We read the day's conditions and match each break to the ability of the people in the water.
What is included?
Inclusions are agreed with you and confirmed in writing after a consultation. Guiding to the right break for the day, accommodation and transfers from Durban can all be built in.
