The Wedge in Durban is known for its left-breaking waves, making it a popular spot for goofy foot surfers looking to escape the crowded rights at New Pier. Located near Addington Beach, this spot offers a more relaxed vibe but can deliver decent waves when the conditions are right. It's an essential part of the Durban surf scene, attracting a mix of locals and visitors alike.

When the swell comes from the SouthEast, The Wedge can produce some quality, hollow waves. It's best suited for intermediate surfers who are comfortable in the water. The wave breaks over sand and can handle swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters) quite well, with other swell directions like NorthEast and SouthWest also contributing to the overall surf experience. The lefts here can get particularly fun, especially with a preferred wind blowing from the SouthWest. Low tide is the sweet spot for catching the best waves at this spot.

As you head toward Addington and Ushaka Pier, the conditions mellow out, making it more suitable for beginners and those looking to improve their skills. This section sees smaller and less powerful waves, providing a good training ground for less experienced surfers who want to build their confidence in the water.
