Surf trips to Tofinho

Since 1991, we have been surfing up and down the East African Seaboard, hauling surfers old and young, beginners and jaded…through some of the finest surfing conditions that the world has to offer. Surf trips to Tofinho and beyond are an email away…

In winter time, our beat is to wait for a solid cold frontal system, and chase it from Cape Town to Pemba, Cabo Delgado, Mocambique – thousands of kilometres of travelling and chasing swell. There are so many spots along this route, that many spots have no name – and like Africa – it’s gonna stay that way!

In summer, it’s all about cyclones – and if the stars line up, and the right swell sneaks in just skirting the southern reaches of Madagascar, it lights up all the usually dormant superbanks littered all over the Mozambican coastline. There are just sooo many!

These two situations do occur seasonally as described, but also at odd times, so once you book, we will plan your trip with the most chance of catching it all – ON!

Accommodation is a mix of camping, backpackers and self-catering units. On tour, we have a healthy regimen of food on the go – cooking ourselves and adapting to the local produce and fares.

We spend loads of time on the road, searching, exploring – we take requests, but the end decision remains with us. We have your best interest at heart -waves – and with an intimate knowledge of every weather system available, can be quite strict about making surf deadlines.

We are always connected on the way – most of our trips are blogged live as we go, and we always make a cool surf production – a movie – on each trip. No spot names mentioned!

Although we often surf really easy spots like St. Michaels (Cutback Cove) pictured here, we also have a few challenges lined up for the more experienced guys and gals. (c) Buzz Lightyear
