surfing in Kenya |
| |
There are a couple of places most people have not heard of, if you plan on visiting: checkout malindi bay or anywere close, it's awesome, especially at full moon or during the spring tides, it can be a bit heavy and there are a few rocks around but shit it's worth it. I was out there for the new year with a couple of mates and it got to about 10 ft but it's a real shallow break, best be carefull, otherwise other spots to check out are Watamu beach out on the reef, mtwapa creek entrance(not that exiting) and the tana river delta. Its all good surf up and down the coast you just have to look for it. Find a place known localy as out point break, you find that and it let you in on the rest of it, hint you need a boat and prefferably a jet ski.
