Additional Surfing Infos
 Not a good wave but warm water and the fascinating culture of Mombasa and Kenya make up for it. Shifting and sectiony lefts at the base of cliffs, high tide has too much backwash and the tidal shifts are pretty massive. Stays rideable due to cliff protection. Jump off cliffs for access to the break.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Mombasa is a run down and fascinating port city on Kenya's southern coast. Good food and an array of cultures and customs. Beautiful beaches to the north and south and the diving on the outside barrier reef is the real draw.

dont think that you will find anyone for surfing at the moment.. the waves are small as it is off season.. and if you want to go to the reef, then u need a way to get out.. cuz its a long paddle.

INCORRECT infor - UPDATE
APOLS I provided incorrect infor a few months ago: UPDATE: Kenya has two monsoon season however NOT SE & SW - BUT NE & SE - SE approx Apri to Sep is when main season with April to Jun being the better, waves up too 8ft. During the NE monsoon is almost flat as a pancake but great diving conditions! Kenya does require patience & persistence with much humour, and not just in the water. APOLS again for incorrect infor - too much water between the easr, I guess!!
