December is one of the two most reliable months for wind in Langebaan. The south-easter typically fills in from late morning and blows strongest through the afternoon, often 20-30 knots, so smaller kites get plenty of use. The South African school holidays run from mid-December into January, so the beach, restaurants and the lagoon are at their busiest, and accommodation books up early.
December and January are the most consistent months for wind. Expect strong south-easter afternoons on most days — great for experienced riders, and lessons are still possible on the flat, shallow water.
Very — it's the main South African summer holiday, especially from mid-December over Christmas and New Year. The beach in front of the estate gets plenty of kiters and families, so give other water users room near shore.
As early as you can. December, and especially the Christmas–New Year weeks, is usually the first period to fill. Check the live availability above and book direct to secure your dates.
