Surf Guide Namibia from Namibia

“Great spot, never crowded, we surf it almost every week the whole year around. Right and left btw (just on big days the right closes).

Wear a 4/3mm (unless it is a sunny day in December or January).

No sharks in Namibia (or at least nothing dangerous, there had never been an attack), just seals and dolphins :)”
