Ponta do Ouro is easier to reach since the Maputo-Katembe road improved, with chop, small-to-medium waves and flatter water inside the point once the tide sets up. Ponta Mamoli, north of Ponta Malongane, is the quieter open-beach option, closer to the former Ponta do Ouro marine reserve and lighter on services.

Maputo Province holds 3 kitesurf spots in our atlas, grouped into 1 destination. The season runs April to December. 2 of them suits beginners. 3 schools operate in the region. The busiest areas are Ponta do Ouro.
