Ngombé surf guide

Surf: On the west side of the Gabon Estuary are the ten neat beach bungalows, which make up Ekwata village. From here, it is a 15 minute walk up to Ngombè lighthouse where an occasional long wrapping left breaks over the shiny black stones that line the coast. When it is on, it’s a very long wave, so head for the beach and walk back to the peak under the shade of the trees. The main problem with this estuarine area is that even at a full 20km (12mi) out to sea, the water depth remains a mere 40m (130ft) deep, draining the power from the swell. The beach skirts a swampy savannah full of birds, monkeys and elephants, while to the south surfing opportunities diminish in the shadow of Port Gentil and heavy silting in the Baie de Nazare.
