Hi there,

cool to see the thread going on. And yep, there is surf at coco beach!
Regarding to my experiences it is quite small, but can get big on strong days (up to 1,5m). Anyway it is by far not a surfspot I would recommend to travel to, but for people living in Dar it is great to have such a wave on your doorstep.
Best surf is between one and two meters of tide. At hightide (mostly 3m) the wave becomes a small shorebreak. Better to go in the morning because of strong winds (onshore) coming up during the day.
Hope it helps

Thanks for the reply Donatello, you know if it is possible to get a board from somewhere (rent or whatever)? As I was not expecting anything I left my boards (9,2 longboard and 7,6 malibu) at home. And if is possible to get a board arranged, could I join you on a surf session at coco someday soon?

Hi,
there is no way to get a board in Dar, but perhaps u could get one from a leaving expat some day.
I haven't been surfing for weeks now because of strong winds and small waves.
Just check tide and wind and visit coco, you will see.

Hi guys,

I am going to Dar Es Salaam in June. Do I need to take my surf board there or can I buy one?

Thanks for your input!!
