More about New Pier surfspot
New Pier is Durban's most popular and impressive wave, bending any S swells into a speedy right with tube and turn sections up to double overhead. NE-E swells also work and at higher tides there are lefts running back towards the pier on the inside. Easy wave when small, but quickly transforms into a sucky, punishing experts-only wave. Jump off the pier when it's big, but make sure you time the sets.
Gets hideously crowded with hassley locals that control the main peak plus the aggro fishermen cast treble hooks into the line-up. Pay someone to watch your car if you can find a park.
