Amanzimtoti in Hibiscous Coast is an exposed beach and reef break that has fairly consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds blow from the northwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the south. Waves at the beach break both left and right. Sometimes crowded. Take care of sharks and rocks.
