Cape Town is not known as the windy city for nothing… kitesurfers and windsurfers from all over the world migrate to Cape Town to experience some of the best kiteboarding in the world. Many international kiteboarding Pros have made Cape Town their training grounds, since this is the one place they are guaranteed plenty of wind, often.
Best of all, there's definitely no shortage of great kitesurfing spots! In fact there are too many to mention all of them here, but Big Bay (Bloubergstrand), Dolphin Beach, Doodles Beach, Kite Beach, Milnerton Lagoon and Sunset Beach are some of the more popular kiting spots in the Table Bay / Bloubergstrand area.
Of course popular also means more crowded, but there are plenty of other great spots to explore around the cape peninsular that aren't as busy, such as Betty's Bay Beach, Struisbaai, Long Beach (Kommetjie), Muizenburg, The Strand, Witsands and more.
So what do we mean by very windy? Well, you can expect a wind range from about 18 to 40 knots. The wind tends to reach the higher wind digits in the afternoons, sometimes getting a bit gusty.
