Located in Kwazulu Natal – South, South Africa, Palm Beach is a decent beach break that offers up some peaky surf for most of the year. The waves here are pretty easy to surf and break for up to 50 meters over a sand bottom. Popular with windsurfers, the best time to go is early.

This break is good for all levels of surfer. The surf here is pretty consistent (6/10) and will usually have a crew (6/10). The best winds are from the Northwest and West. The best swells are from the East. Works on all tides.
