Gentle breaking waves on a sand bottomed beach with water that is much warmer than the other beaches on the Atlantic side of the Cape Peninsula, make Muizenberg Beach the ultimate learner surfer’s paradise.

Mossel Bay (or Mossel Baai) is home to a fantastic variety of surf breaks – suitable for both beginners and advanced surfers. All our beginner lessons are held at Diaz Beach, a sand bottomed beach that is ideal for learning to surf. Advanced/high performance coaching can be arranged at other locations.

The South Coast region, can get some serious surf that is amazing for advanced surfers but not fun for beginners at all.

Addington Beach is your best and only choice for where to learn to surf in the Durban area.
