Surfing & Windsurfing
Some of the coasts are rough and steep, and the rooks at the bottom of the sea generate excellent waves and require some precautions. Due to its location in the Indian Ocean, Socotra Island experiences a hefty wind (monsoon) responsible for the strong gusts. The best time to come for this activity is during the monsoon season from June up to late August. In July, the wind speed can reach up to 60 mph, and the waves rider has to be aware of such conditions. Surfing on Socotra Island only began some years ago when professionals and surf lovers realized this region’s excellent condition. The hotspots are the sea port near Hadibo, Erissel, Shauab, Qalansia and Aomak.
