Kosi Bay

Kosi Bay is a remote northern KZN surf classic, where the mouth-and-reef setup sits inside the iSimangaliso wetland landscape and far from the usual busy surf strip. It pairs warm water and sparse lineups with a protected reserve setting, so the session feels as much about place as it does about the wave. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Kosi Bay in KwaZulu-Natal.

The Wave

Northwest winds clean it up and southeast to east-southeast swell is the best trigger.

The access road to Kosi Bay Mouth can go underwater at high tide, so plan the approach around the tide and use a high-clearance or 4x4 vehicle.
