Typical January conditions
January is peak season for wind: the south-easter blows on most afternoons, frequently 20-30 knots, over Langebaan Lagoon's flat water. The first half of the month is still the summer holiday rush; after the South African schools reopen around mid-January, the beach quietens down while the wind stays just as good — one of the best windows of the year.
January FAQ
Yes — January is one of the two most consistent wind months, alongside December. Late January is a particular sweet spot: peak-season wind with fewer holiday crowds.
Bring your smaller kites. Strong south-easter afternoons are common, so most riders spend a lot of time on their smaller sizes, with a mid-size kite for the lighter mornings or end-of-day sessions.
The holiday weeks at the start of January are peak season. Later in the month demand eases — check the live availability above for your dates.
