If you or a member of the family enjoys surfing , then a visit to Nahoon is highly recommended. Nahoon has 3 distinct quality breaks that cater for all levels and styles of surfer. Starting with Nahoon Reef which is a powerful point break at the Southernmost end of Nahoon . Definitely a more advanced surfers spot , but a right hander that is challenging and a really special wave with a few personalities dependent on the conditions at the time. Great consistency year round but better in the winter months with SW winds and swell direction.
Just more north is the Nahoon corner parking lot which looks over a fun right hander and sometimes small lefts that break into the rip. Intermediate surfers can enjoy this wave that can break really long when the sand and conditions are suitable . Can be fickle , but get it on a good day and will be memorable.
The beach break further north at the river mouth consistently delivers a variety of waves year round and can generate absolute perfection when the sand and low wind conditions line up.
Crowds in all the Nahoon spots are seldom an issue , and East London surfers are very friendly , obviously as long as you behave in manner that retains the order in the water and remember the basic ethics of surfing.
If you choose to stay at Riversway , http://www.riversway.co.za/ I shall gladly join you for a surf and even take you to one or two less known waves for a day outing should you stay long enough. We are 3 minutes from Nahoon main beach and I get to surf there or elsewhere most days and have many years of experience along our coast to share with you. Also magnificent fishing for those who enjoy both activities like I do.
For those keen to learn we have a resident surf coach Ed Peinke who we can get you in touch with. Ed will set you up with equipment , and is a great coach and ambassador of surfing and a Nahoon legend.
Ed is also a talented photographer and will be able to capture special moments or create a great Nahoon portrait from his collection in any size you choose. He has a treasure chest of Nahoon photos that depict the special beauty of our Beaches.
Parents if you visit and feel like a break from the kids , our good friend Dean owns Jonginenge Eco adventures and we can arrange a day for your children of any age to enjoy with Dean and his professional team , from surfing to paddling , fishing and even team building events .
