Edit SpotAbout
its awesome. sometimes fitt for beginners but can also get big and sometimes very powerfull so also fitt for more experienced surfers.
Atmosphere:
very little surfers, 3 at most. far from any medical help and can be very clean and glassy but can also be very gough and menacing. off a beach that is not accesible so it is about 20 to 30 minutes by boat from ungujalodge.
Additional Info:
You have to access by boat, only from Unguja Lodge. found by Nick and Thijs. can get very shallow and reef is sharp. along a wall that drops to about 60 metres so sharks are present. far away from medical help. do not go out when stormy because it is a very big area and you might get drifted far away by currents and wind.
