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