Praia do Tofo Mozambique - An episode of series: The 10 of the Best Surf Destinations in Africa.
Praia do Tofo is a backpacker’s idyll located 15 miles (25 kilometers) east of Inhambane. The most famous surf spot is Tofinho Point, a right-hand reef break found at the southern end of Tofo’s eastward beach. It’s consistent, and challenging enough to keep serious surfers on their toes. Beginners should tackle the break on the main beach instead. Tofo’s charms are manifold. Prices are cheap, the locals are welcoming and the water’s warm. Local operators like The Surf Shack offer rental equipment and surf lessons, while the area’s pristine reefs provide world-class diving. The best season for surfing is June to August — months that coincide with the annual humpback whale migration. Don’t be surprised if you catch sight of these friendly giants on backline..
