Look to the shore break 100m further up the beach for a fun wave if you bodyboard.

Much better waves available outside of this spot, look north or go to Durban Town center.
Additional Info:
Best in small swell and light land breezes. It offers a shifty peak. Generally a fat short wave since the storms 2 years ago, 2006, beach still recovering.
