The kitesurfign spot of Brandvlei Dam offers consistent and nice conditions year-round so you can kite at most moments during the year and don't need to plan around an specific time-frame. The wind usually comes through in the afternoon and it is a nice flatwater spot for freestyle.
When on the spot, be mindful of a variety of hazards, such as tress, rocks, fence and the other beach goers. Be sure to speak to the locals about acceptable practices.
When the wind is too strong in Cape Town, it gets often more steady and lighter wind here at Lake Brandvlei.
