Long wetsuits needed all year round - although people were seen in shorties some times. Air around 30°C in the summer, down to 15°C in the winter. The water is pretty cold, around 10-15°C in the summer and 13-17°C in the winter. The longer the South Easter (prevailing summer wind) blows, the colder the surface water gets. Doesn't matter much in summer though.
Recommended
wind for kitesurfing is
wind coming
from
SE and SSE, S
.
There is
Thermal wind
at Noordhoek, South Africa.
In the summer, the wind is mostly S to SE. This is the perfect wind (called Cape Dr.) and can get very strong at times - up to 40 knots. The wind tends to pick up in the mornings and get stronger. So if super strong winds are predicted, get there early! NW is mostly a bad weather or winter wind, less reliable. Surfing is possible all year round, although the summer months (December to March) have the best winds. In the winter, you will mostly find NW winds (from the right), although these come rarely. Steady winds.

Beach and Tide Conditions
Noordhoek, South Africa is a
Small waves, Medium waves and Big waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Big size.
This gorgeous 8 km horseshoe curve of fine white sparkling sand is quite unspoilt and deserted. It is the Cape's widest beach with plenty of room. Long wonderful empty beach for land power kiting. Amazing all year round. Sometimes people take their horses or walk their dogs on the beach (and may let them off the leash) but otherwise relatively empty all year round.
Beautiful water with a nice wave and flat sections in between. Lots of space. Some rocks to the north. Almost no people cause the water is just so cold. Lots of wonderful coast line for kitesufing.
