Sakalava Bay, Diego

A reef in the north of Madagascar, near Diego Suarez, not the Telo islands. Sakalava Bay is a right that people name when they fly this far, a dry coast, a bay that still feels like a bay. The town is Antsiranana. This page is the reef.

When.

April to October

South swell in the southern winter. A small day is just the bay.

Worth knowing.

  1. 1. This is not Indonesia and it is not the Telo islands. Different country, different reef.
  2. 2. The reef is close. Watch a set from the sand before you paddle.
  3. 3. Southern winter is the window. The wet months are a different trip.
  4. 4. Diego Suarez is the town. Ramena is the next beach along.

Go.
