Aktau
Edit SpotAbout
You ought to get some interesting breaks hereabouts - as the shelf is extremely shallow (0-5m) for 10s of kms offshore... so no real fetch and energy/wave sapping seafloor. No surf-camps planned here just yet.
Atmosphere:
I guess this never gets much bigger than this, and then only rarely, so its not exactly a destination.... but has ANYONE surfed the caspian?????
Additional Info:
Nice beach atmosphere; and yes - its clearly not a 'surf spot' as such; just somewhere unusual you could surf, if you happened to be on the edge of the Caspian, the day after a big storm, AND you had your stick with you (I didn't).
