About

this spot is perfect. its easy to get out. quality waves. no crowd.

Atmosphere:
the atmosphere is excellent. there are only about 10-12 surfer (all expats) in tanzania so people are very welcoming in the water. people are talkative in the water. just ask about the other spots (mostly accessably only by boat or you have climb of a cliff) they'll tell you where to go, how to get there, or they'll take you themselves. let the people know you are there and they'll keep make sure you are ok. most people have boats and will take you out to the more remote spots. just don't drop in on anyone because there aren't enough people to catch even half of the waves out there so its completely useless to do so.

Additional Info:
go in the morning because the wind tends to spin around after noon but in the morning its always offshore winds and glassy surf. at low tide you have to walk out over the reef (sandy and rocky) which isn't a problem except for the sea urchins but you'll get used to them. at low tide the wave is hollow, short, and tends to go left, and can't handle waves larger than 8ft before it starts closing out. at high tide it needs at least 4ft to start working. the waves will go both left and right and become a lot longer but not hollow enough to catch barrels.
