Ifaty
Edit SpotAbout
Best I have had, waves are so predictable and smooth that even average surfers will blossom here.
Atmosphere:
early morning with the sun rising, in warm water, with great sea life, in a really rural pat fot he world is a spiritual experience every true surfer will connect with. You will be there alone with your surf buds, and you wil share a session that will make you believe that god does really exist.
Additional Info:
You have got to make a mission out of this, get to Ifaty, and then go to the local SAn dive school ask at the local hotel. They will boat you out there through the lagoon mouth to the spots. This is for independent minded, strong willed, patient people.

A bit of a mission, this is a trek but worth it. Either take a yacht from Durban and cruise the coast, or get to Ifaty by 4-wheel drive,
