Surfing on Socotra Island only began some years ago, when professionals and surf lovers realized the excellent condition that this region has to offer.

Top off an exciting day with some fun surfing with very strong winds (about 8 ft average waves in the morning).

Some of the coasts are rough and steep and the rooks at the bottom of the sea generate not only excellent waves but also require some precautions.

Due to its location in the Indian Ocean, Socotra Island experiences a very heavy wind (monsoon) which is responsible for the strong gusts. Surfing is only recommended for experienced surfers. You should bring a tow board over 7 feet and a smaller board. And if you are a beginner you should be careful with the rock formation and stones.

The best time to come for this adventure is during the monsoon season from June up to late August.  In July the wind speed can reach up to 60 mph and you have to prepare for such conditions.

For experienced surfers Socotra is a real adventure with world-ranked high waves.
