Surf within 20 km

The next 7 days. Each day's wave height, green on a good day for intermediate surfers. A spot that does not suit them is tagged with the level it suits and never goes green for them. The best of the spots that stay in Durban each day wears a ★ Best badge, only on a Good day. 6 spots stay in another town: within your drive, they count for Durban too.

Wave height in feet, the wave energy in kJ under it.GoodBest spot that day for intermediatesUnder each day, the wind in knots: the arrow points where it blows to.

Distances are in a straight line from the middle of Durban, to spots that land joins: none across a bay or on another island. A drive marked "about" is our estimate: the straight line times 1.8 minutes a km, measured on the drives we have routed (half of those come within 21% of the routed time).
