general information

There is a right and left hand combo set up on the area here just offshore from the dry riverbed. In a clean swell it becomes fairly clear which one is the better option on the day. One of the better reef breaks on the coast here and a nice change from the standard beachbreak fare elsewhere. Try to get over to Socotra in good conditions to sample the points.
