About this spot

Rietvlei Wetland is Cape Town's dedicated flat water windsurf and wingfoil venue, tucked behind the dunes opposite Dolphin Beach Hotel in Table View. The Milnerton Aquatic Club provides a clubhouse, equipment hire and lessons with direct access to a shallow freshwater vlei. Local wind quirks keep Rietvlei flying even when exposed beaches are too gusty. A classic training ground for wingfoil and windsurf progression with Table Mountain views.

Local tips

Access via the Milnerton Aquatic Club. Equipment hire and instruction available on site. The vlei stays calm when the Atlantic beaches are blown out: a real advantage on gusty days. No kiting allowed on the vlei: windsurf and wingfoil only.
