Surf Tongaat - Westbrook

Tongaat - Westbrook This beach break features powerful and fast right-hand waves over a sandy bottom mixed with rocks. It works best at low and mid tide, with optimal conditions when the swell comes from the southwest and winds from the north, northwest, or northeast. Located north of Umhlanga, Tongaat - Westbrook offers a parking lot right in front of the surf spot, making access convenient. While it can be a good escape from the crowded Durban beaches, surfers should arrive early to secure their place. The spot is known for its fickle conditions, and caution is advised due to potential dangers such as rips, rocks, and localism. Despite the risks, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a less crowded surf experience, especially during the week when only a few surfers are present.
