Where to surf in Comoros
Located in the north of the Mozambique Channel, between Africa and Madagascar, this volcanic archipelago is made up of four islands; Grande Comoros, Anjouan and Mohéli form the independent Comoros Union, while Mayotte remains a French territory. With a mix of African, Malagasy, Arab and Persian origins, Comoros is one of the poorest countries in the world creating health problems like malaria and cholera.
Anjouan forms the bulk of the known surf. Tourism is undeveloped thanks to political instability (18 coups in 24yrs, often led by the well-known mercenary Bob Dénard) and a lack of infrastructure.
There are some surf spots on Grande Comoros (Itzandra, Chomoni, Lac Sale), Moheli (Fomboni, Hoani) and even the reef-encircled French Territory of Mayotte, where one or two decent waves are accessible by boat, near the airport on slack wind days.
