Where to surf in Tanzania
Tanzania suffers from bad luck in the swell stakes, with major shadowing from Madagascar and the large offshore islands of Mafia, Zanzibar and Pemba. Dar es Salaam has good coral reef set-ups to the south and the main beachbreaks north of town are Coco Beach/Oyster Bay and Sea Cliff. People surf around the main tourist resorts on the northern tip of Zanzibar, but a boat is essential to access the real waves on offshore reefs like Mnemba where the dive boats operate.
