Located in Durban, South Africa, Baggies is a fun beach break that serves up speedy walls needing some pumping to make. The waves here are challenging to surf and break for up to 50 meters (164 feet) over a sand bottom.
What are the best surf conditions for Baggies?
Baggies get good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a shortboard and then a step up as the size picks up. This break is good for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here is consistent (7/10) and will get very crowded (8/10). The best winds are from the Northwest or Southwest. The best swells are from the South and Southeast. Works on all tides.
We recommend wearing boardshorts or a bikini in summer when water temperatures rise to 26°C (78.8°F). In the winter, a spring suit might be best as temps drop to about 21°C (69.8°F). See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
