Surf New Pier

New Pier - Durban New Pier features powerful, hollow waves breaking both right and left over a sandy bottom. This spot is best surfed at 1.8 meters and above, with conditions suitable for all tides. The wave is known for its fast and ledgey characteristics, attracting a crowd of local surfers, especially on weekends. Located along Marine Parade, access is straightforward with parking available nearby. While the atmosphere can be challenging due to localism, the vibe improves significantly as the swell increases. Early mornings are quieter, making it a prime time to catch waves. For those seeking a less crowded experience, nearby spots like The Wedge offer a more relaxed environment with smaller, beginner-friendly waves. However, New Pier remains a must-visit for experienced surfers looking for high-performance conditions, especially when the swell is pumping. Just be mindful of the local pecking order and respect the lineup to ensure a good session.
