 SURF CONDITIONS

- We operate between the two local towns Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. Our focus is to provide you with the best surf possible. As we do rely on the natural elements, we can't always promise world class waves. But when the stars do align, you will witness Namibia's precious gem: Skeleton Bay. Although it doesn’t break all year long, when it does, you have the opportunity for the ride of your life. Regarded as one the “Top 10 waves to ride before you die”, it is a ‘must-surf’ for all die-hard surfers out there.
- Average water temperature: 17 degree
- Average air temperature: approx. 18 degree (June-November), 25 degree (December-May)
