Sosua Bay in Amber Coast is an exposed reef break that has very consistent waves. Winter and spring are the favoured times of year to visit. The best wind direction is from the southeast. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north. There is a right breaking reef. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Watch out for urchins and rocks.
