Risks & Safety
The wind can be gusty on the beach itself, so keep the kite at a low angle to avoid control issues.
The spot is shared with surfers and windsurfers, so respect their space and give them priority in the water.
The beach is wide but may not be ideal for spectators or families due to its expanse and lack of amenities.
Check local conditions and respect the spot etiquette to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all riders.

Cape Town
Melkbos Beach is located at the northern end of the Table View area, in Cape Town, on the west coast of South Africa. It is the last spot in this famous series of beaches that stretches from south to north, after Haakgat and Big Bay. The beach offers a spacious setting with fine sand and beach-break waves that form in front of a long sandy beach.
The spot is popular among riders of all levels for its versatility: wave riders, freestylers, and big air lovers all find their place here. Melkbos receives more swell than Tableview, making it an interesting destination for those seeking wave conditions. The atmosphere is that of a spot popular with locals, shared with surfers and windsurfers, which requires respect and good etiquette.
