READING THE SEAโ€ฆ

Is it worth a session at Mombasa?

At 1.6 m it's solid โ€” solid, powerful surf โ€” better suited to confident, experienced surfers. The swell period is on the shorter side, so expect choppier, weaker surf than the height alone might imply. This is the open-sea figure โ€” the wave that actually breaks at a given peak depends on the spot's shape and the state of the tide, so treat it as a steer, not a promise. The water is 27.5ยฐC โ€” balmy.
