Skeleton Bay surf guide
Surf: It's a long drive around Walvisbaai and out onto the sand spit that leads to Pelican Point and the lighthouse. A curve in the beach creates the perfect angle for a freakishly insane, but fickle left to peel down parallel to the beach that is now famously known as Skeleton Bay. Requires exacting swell direction to line-up into a magical mile of peeling speed barrels that only the best pit jockeys will handle. Air drops into thick, freight train barrels that can keep you in the shade for the longest tubes of your life, if you can keep up.
Environment: Heavy drift means walking back up the beach is a must, against the sandblasting wind. Seals everywhere and plagues of jellyfish at times.
