Description:
Amazing lagoon, about 10 km of pristine water!
Wind Conditions:
Langebaan
is a great kiting destination - a glance at the Wind Statistics
for Langebaan should leave no doubt in your mind. Check out The Cape
Windsurf Centre for a smooth sailing spot - very user friendly indeed.
Wave Conditions:
There
isn’t much of a wave, as the long point effectively shelters the whole
bay area; what you do have to watch out for is the tide; when the tide
is going out, the current is incredibly strong, and it can make sailing
in a SE wind very unpleasant - you spend most of the time trying to
regain your starting point; of course, when the tide is coming in, it
can be excellent, effortless sailing.
Directions:
From
Big Bay Bloubergstrand, carry on driving north (with the sea on your
left) past Melkbosstrand. At the intersection with the R27, turn left,
driving to Velddrif. Just follow this road for about 60 kms, past
Yzerfontein, past the West Coast National Park entrance, until you
reach the Langebaan turn off. Turn left here, and follow the road in to
the town. At the main intersection, turn right, and this will take you
to the beach. Note that you can also get to Langebaan through the West
Coast National Park, but this will cost you the entry fee
