Where to surf in Namibia
Harsh and unforgiving especially along the Namib desert coastline - where calcified sand dunes and beaches are littered with shipwrecks, washed up by merciless Atlantic swells. Surf-wise Namibia has some of the longest, hollowest lefts on the planet, not only in the inhospitable wilderness of the Skeleton Coast but also around the more populated Swakopmund zone. Skeleton Bay has quickly become the "World's Longest Barrel", but it is not designed for the average Joe, who would struggle to paddle out, let alone paddle in to one of these super-sucky speedsters.
There’s no doubt that the incredible desert wilderness to the south through Luderitz and down to the border with South Africa hides more gems that both the diamond mining companies and the harsh environment will conspire to maintain a restricted access policy.
