READING THE SEAโฆ
Is it worth a session at Zanzibar?
At 0.3 m it's small โ small, gentle surf โ ideal for beginners and longboards. 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 27ยฐC โ balmy.
