Winter in Umzumbe is delivering absolute magic, and we just had to share what’s been happening around our Surfcamp lately...

🌊 Whales Giving Birth – Right in Front of Us!

It’s whale season in full swing, and we’ve been lucky enough to witness humpback whales giving birth just offshore! Imagine sipping your morning coffee and watching a mama whale and her calf playing in front of the Surfhouse. It’s been surreal — and a reminder of how special this coastline really is.

🐬 Warm Water, Clean Surf & Daily Dolphin Shows

Despite it being winter, the water is still warm, the waves are clean, and the dolphins have been showing off daily. Long glassy lines, offshore winds, and playful pods make every surf session feel like a dream.
