You will find this is the most crowded time with hundreds of Euro's escaping the cold and flogging to Blouberg and Langebaan.
There is hundreds of places to kite... windfinder.com is brilliant for Cape Town (The forecast is *pretty* reliable... Also, the SMS wind service there is very useful, and the data is 3 hours delayed on the windfinder site (forecast vs. current conditions)
Do take all your kites(7m - 17m, bigger not needed). The wind is normally (SE) 16 knots in the morning, 25 - 35 knots after lunch, backing down to 18 at dusk...
Most local guys are really friendly. as suggested, do a search on ikiteboarding.com for car rental... a lot of cheap options are listed in the forums, but might be rented out. Impossible to go without a car.
Get medical insurance (Public health care poor, private = brilliant), insure your kites. Frequent thefts from the cars... never leave anything in your car. Otherwise Cape Town is pretty safe and very cheap and the parties are massive!
