Stoke is what is experienced when the Cape DR arrives in Cape Town
Dedicated mainly to the sport of kitesurfing. Oh ! and the Doctor is the amazing summer wind
Seeing it's a quiet day and the wind is'nt playing along, I have looked through some of the pics I took during the 2013 winter. In winter the wind comes generally from the north west and along with it come cold fronts and rain. The wind is more gusty and not as dense as the summer south easter however there is still fun to be had for those few brave and avid enough to venture out. You will see from the background that the seas are rougher and the light generally dimmed a bit by clouds trawling the skies.
On the 13th October the wind blew between 25 and 30 knots average. There
were not too many kites out being early season but those who were were
smashing the swells, which were about a consistent 3 feet.
These photos were taken at Big Bay.
