Ok, i got back form my namib holiday 4 weeks ago and just wanted to post an update.
After a week in winhoek we went to swakop for 4 days and i wanted to surf. The next day i went out to go look for some waves and missioned everwhere. Walvis bay-Nothing there. Henties bay-fucken epic surf spots all the way there. I wont surf it though, really huge and only people fishing.
When i got back form a whole day of looking for surf i came across something form heaven. I guy in a wetsuit and holding a surf board. HOLY SHIT.
I ran to him to ask where he was gonna charge. And he said just to the end of this rock pier ledge thing. So i ran there to take alook and found 2 boogers and a standup.. I was stoked. Ran back to the car got my siut on and jumped of the rocks into the water.
Would i found was fucked crazy, A kalk bay, But really chill. The okes where so nice and i am still in contact with them now.
Waves discription.- 10meter diamiter take off zone and breaks off a slab that on low tide is really shalow. Right or left, Left has 3 barrel sections and is long. Rights more for backdoor. When you wipe is a funny feeling as you are sliding along the reef with this foam on it. It's nothing to worry about
This spot is sick. The closest thing to it is kalk. I surfed this spot for the next few days till this huge storm can in with 5m swells and fucked up everything. Next to this wannabe kalk bay there was a huge shorebreak that was 5-6ft. So i thought what the hell. Ill charge.
Mistake, One wipeout and i bolted.
Let me just say, Namibia has potential for a great surfing country, i would recomend anyone to take there stuff if your going.
There are a total of 4 surfs spots that i found and where told of by the guys i met.
Lockjoint. I didnt manage to surf here but i looks sick. Reefbreak.
Point.( this is where i surfed the whole week) Totally sick and very consistent and close to the town. Hint.- Turn as if you are going to henties bay, about 5 min drive from swakop lighthouse.
Guns. More of a standup spot. Between walvis bay and swakop. The dolphin estate place.
There is a spot infront of the halfpipe in swakop. Works when big.
If you are going and want info just email me.
Some pics of me surfing point and that shorebreak. Some locals too
