The Spot - KZN SA surf guide

The Spot is a well-known surf break located near the Mfazazana local village on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It can be a bit tricky to find, but those who make the effort are often rewarded with some decent waves. This spot has a reputation for its leg-burning rides when the conditions are right, although it can also serve up a lot of close-outs if the sandbanks don't cooperate.

The best swell direction for The Spot is from the SouthWest, but it can also handle SouthEast3ft (about 0.9 meters). It typically breaks over boulders and sand, with a point break that sends waves to the right. To get the best out of it, surfers usually look for low to mid tide conditions and west winds.

This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so if you’re just starting out, you might want to look elsewhere. It’s important to keep in mind that, while the waves can be fun, the overall consistency can vary, and you may need to check conditions regularly. Enjoy your time at The Spot!

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High certainty: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium certainty: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
    • Low certainty: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"
