Beach and Tide Conditions
Recommended
tide for kitesurfing is
Low Tide
.
White Sands, Tanzania is a
Shallow, Flat, Chop and Small waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Tidal size.
The beach is soft white sand with enough room to launch kites, especially on the low tide when the water retreats a lot. On the low tide site is fine for beginners and the more experienced but on high tide gets a bit trickier and is better for the more experienced. Need to enter and exit between 2 rock jetties about 50m apart. On the low you can launch off the sand bank way past these jetties so no problem for beginners. Can have long runs out to the small islands off the main coast.
Really flat water on the low tide and slightly choppier on the high. Mainly a flat water site but during the months of July to October sometimes get small fun waves to ride.
