Welcome to the 3rd of 6 perfect, long Lefthand pointbreaks on Namibia's mid coast. All these breaks are on diamond mining private property, so access is impossible. Lucky for us we have family that work here..sorry okes..
Overview
Atmosphere
Hottentot Bay is most powerful and challenging of the 6 waves. It breaks on a shallow reef and even though swell is consistent, needs around 5+ to peel right down the point. Its a fast wave an the take off is scary, on a shallow reef. Looooooong wave that fades into deeper water so paddling to it is easier. Ichaboe island sits around the corner from the point, which has good, long and strong left and rights available. To get here you need a boat.
General
All alone out here. These waves are 6 of the surfing worlds best kept secrets.

Alright that's enough lies out of Jo-nobrainer!
I'm going to expose the truth behind yet another duplicitous dream of Jo-noboard's: He's re-named this spot to match with an African tribe'S name that's not even native to this region at all. The spot's name is Hotandnot bay coz the waves here ARE hot & Jo-schmo IS NOT!!

Perfect
Hotties and Spencer Bay are deffinately the safest, with the least worry of currents but ofcourse sharks are always a worry out here boet. If you're comming out this way, check out the Luderitz wedge, south from here, a heavy bodyboarders wave. I've just added the spot with directions, i'm just waiting for it to show.
