Vulamanzi Point is an isolated point break but dont let that fool you, when its cranking it can get crowded vry quickly.
Park your car at the parking are( its quite safe there). You will always see Surfers there, so just follow them.
Nice breaks from both left or right, amazing shorebreak on some days whih are deadly but not surfable.
Really easy paddle out, waves are pretty fast and can be hollow enough to land you a little head dip if the conditions are right. Sharks aren’t a massive issue, as long as the shark nets are up (you can tell if they are up or not by looking for orange floating buoys on the horizon. No real dangers here, just watch out for getting too close to the rocks on the point, and watch out for fisherman (even when walking on the beach).
The wave is a mixup of a fast and sometimes decently hollow point break that runs along the rocks (only really surfable during dead-low tide), there is a right-gander beach break that breaks in front of the lifeguard area (this is the most commonly surfed section) and finally there is a really hollow and sometimes quite heavy break that breaks more towards the Pumula Beach Hotel side. The last break is a good option if you want to try your luck at getting lefts, if the right breaks are too busy, or if you fancy some heavier (and more hollow) waves on your own!
Umzumbe is usually only crowded when the school holidays are on, and sometimes on weekends if the swell is good. Localism isn’t really an issue, as there are plenty of waves in different areas and hardly any cause for trouble. Don’t let the rural atmosphere of Umzumbe fool you. While it is beautiful, and the people are all very nice.. petty theft can be an issue - so don’t leave anything valuable unattended.
Your nearest quality surf shops can be found in Port Shepstone and Margate (there may be others that I am not fully aware of).
The sewerage plant in the car park doesnt smell to good when the offshore is blowing.This spot holds up on the SW wind whcih can be the prevalent wind here for days on end. The wave breaks off the side of the reef and there are some nice sections to it. Have some reasonable lefts.A chill spot with an easy paddle off the side of the rocks with a rip to help . Do take off from the side wall area and the paddle will be easier .
This is South Africa's Suck Rock. The wave looks almost exactly the same as the one in Oz at times but more rights. Heavy short ride, tuck in race it and bust an air. More for bodyboarders.
The beach is also used by the local Skiboat club as a launch site who are some of the most arrogant and obnoxious boneheads this side of Pofadder. Be careful when surfing in this area for beerbops in boats!
If its blowing East, you'll have more fun playing in traffic....If you like barrels (ones which are often hard to make it out of) then this spot is for you.Dont leave valuables in your cab....
This break can really go off with an intmidating take-off in front of the rocks, then a high speed run into the bay, finishing as a 'standard' beach break. On smaller days the inside is a reform without connection to the point/reef
