Located in KwaZulu-Natal, Richards Bay Outside is a sandbar break known for its powerful waves, best suited for advanced and expert surfers. The spot works best in offshore northwest winds and handles groundswells and windswells equally well. Summer offers the best conditions, with the sandbar breaking rights and the surf quality unaffected by tides. When working, the spot can get crowded, so be prepared for competition and strong rip currents.
