Skeleton Bay

Skeleton Bay is a W-facing point break in Walvis Bay, Erongo Region, Namibia. It picks up swell from S to NNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 33% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
