Marsa Alaam
Edit SpotAbout
best chance for a bit of onshore slop is during howling northerly winter cross shore. explore the coast to the south, could find anything.
Atmosphere:
lonely, clear, clean water all year round. howling cross shore during winter is best for kites and sails. ridiculously hot in summer.
Additional Info:
a reef pass with a sloppy shallow left on one side and a sloppy shallow right on the other. only surf it if you're desperate. take plenty of peroxide.
