Umzumbe
Edit SpotAbout
Not a world class wave. Fairly well protected beach from heavy winds, worth a look when other breaks are blown out.
Atmosphere:
Cool and relaxed. Even when its cooking theres more waves than surfers. Respect the locals and youll be cool.
Additional Info:
Find a local kid to guard your car!
