Struisbaai

Struisbaai, near Cape Agulhas on the Overberg coast, is a two-in-one spot: a protected flat-water bay at Main Beach with a huge grass rigging area, and a separate wake-style flat-water session at Struisbaai Harbour reachable by kiting upwind. It is often described as an easier alternative on days when the Cape Town wind is too strong.
