Characterised by a good mix of reef, sand or combinations of both, the KwaZulu Natal North Coast or Dolphin Coast boasts a treasure chest of semi-secret spots known to produce world class, hollow, left and right-handers.
Surf spots along the Dolphin Coast work best on either east or south swells, the left-handers preferring an easterly cyclone generated swell in summer while the right-handers will fire off southerly swells in winter.
Here’s what to expect at each of the mobile event venues during this year’s Mr Price Pro:
SURFERS/WILLARDS
A fast, hollow right-hander that breaks just off the rock north of Ballito Main Beach. Works best in a southwest swell and on a low tide. Watch out for the rips and prepare for constant paddling on a big swell.
