Surf Camp Namibia
Uncrowded waves in beautiful desert surfscape
Not a Tropical Paradise
But as a surfer you probably don’t care.
Surfing along the oldest desert in the world not only offers consistent, year-round quality waves for all levels with low crowds – on top of this, the Namib desert’s mesmerizing scenery and the endless barrels of Skeleton Bay will remain etched in your mind.
Be prepared, this place is wild.
The desert climate can be harsh and you might surf alone with no soul in sight apart from some friendly seals and dolphins, while jackals surround the car on the beach – it’s all part of the adventure. For all the facts like, sharks, safety and the cost of beer, read on or see our FAQ Page.
