Why you'll love windsurfing in South-africa!
South Africa is one of the leading windsurf locations in the world. The best time to book your kitesurfing holiday is during the months of November through to April, the South African summer. The South African climate during these months is perfect for windsurfing; around 28-32 degrees celcius and almost near perfect wind conditions everyday.
South Africa is on a similar time zone to the UK and Europe, and with direct 12 hour overnight flights from London (as well as other major European airports), this is a very easy destination to access. Apart from the amazing windsurfing conditions, world-class food and charming accommodations, South Africa is amazing value for money for UK travellers.
There are few places around the world that offer such a complete windsurf holiday, at amazing prices. Outside of the stunning beaches and windsurf conditions South Africa offers a huge amount to see and experience. Highlights include the arid semi-desert of the Karoo, the snow-capped peaks of the Drakensberg Range, the lush sub-tropical coast of KwaZulu-Natal and the fertile temperate valleys of the Western Cape.
Planet Windurf are South African specialists and we have a huge amount of experience and expertise in this country. We would highly recommend speaking with us about combining a windsurf holiday with other fantastic experiences South Africa has to offer.
South Africa has been blessed by nature with one of the most temperate climates on the African continent, and can be visited comfortably any time of the year for general tourism. Winter (June to September) is cooler and drier, and ideal for hiking and outdoor pursuits. Because vegetation is less dense, and thirsty animals congregate around water sources, winter is also the best time for wildlife-watching.
Summer (late November to March) brings the wind, and lots of it! The wind tends to fill in around mid to late morning and then again early afternoon. The wind during these months (on the Southern Cape) reliably blows at around 30-35 knots during the afternoons.

Langebaan is an idyllic little seaside town on the South African West Coast. It is located at the edge of the tranquil Langebaan lagoon, 100km north of Cape Town. Founded in 1922, this historical town was once a whaling station and it has now been transformed into a holiday destination on the West Coast. It is a mecca for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts. The lagoon is part of a protected area, the West Coast National Park - a world-renowned birding spot with migratory birds from as far as Russia stopping here annually.
The jewel of the West Coast towns, Langebaan will leave you with memories of a startling blue sea, acres of spring flowers and the enticing smell of fish ‘braais’ (barbeques). Sunsets on the west-facing coast are legendary and you’ll experience plenty of enchanting moments. We are sure you will return again and again to this tranquil, magnificently beautiful place.
During the South African summer months, from November to April Langebaan is on the most wind sure location on the Planet. The climate at this time of year is perfect with temperatures in the high 20s. The lagoon offers a huge flat water area, with many shallow sections, making this an ideal beginner or improver destination. Most of the Lagoon is surrounded by a nature reserve making for stunning views from the water back across the surrounding area.
Other compelling reasons to consider a holiday to Langebaan is the amazing and very cheap eating out, the world-class service (and always with a genuine smile), the huge range of off-water activities, and incredible value for money we enjoy with the relatively strong Pound.
It is best to have a car in Langebaan so as part of your holiday quote we would normally include this. There are also lots of add-on options for a holiday to Langebaan to include extra nights in Cape Town, wildlife safaris or even combine your stay in South Africa with a visit to Mauritius! Please call and speak to an expert advisor so we can put together the right trip for your budget, duration and specific requirements.
