general information

If you find yourself in these parts of darkest Africa around Jun to Sep, be sure to check the south facing points of this coastline. Anything that reaches these shores has travelled from the southern hemisphere, so swell decay is a problem. Superior swell period however will ensure that the deeper water points work in anything over 2 metres. If the point here isnt working, check the nearby beaches and rivermouths, it doesent take a lot of swell to bring them to life. Being this close to a large population brings polution problems with it, exercise due caution / medication.
