Mtunzini
Edit SpotAbout
My little love/hate relationship
Atmosphere:
Small crew of surfers and bodyboards, all locals that have been living there for years. Always happy to see someone else in the water with them. Safety in numbers is the motto!
Additional Info:
Zini is probally the most hardcore spot on the north coast. Producing some of the heaviest, gnarliest and powerful waves in the local area. Not to mention the large sharks, outside reefs and ship wreck. Rated one of the most dangerous beaches in South Africa.
There are no guarentee's! No protection from prodominet winds, however is surfable in light NE winds. Some days you might hit a luck and surf some of the howlest sand break waves you've ever seen.
