Ghazala Bay is a surf spot that offers a mix of different conditions. It has deep water just offshore, which means it can pack some punch when the swell is right. However, you'll want to wait for a larger swell to really get the waves firing due to its easterly aspect. The spot has a laid-back vibe, making it a good choice for surfers looking to catch some waves without the crowds you might find at more popular spots.

This place works best with swells coming from the North, but it can also handle West swells. Ghazala Bay can break at swell sizes starting from around 1ft (0.3m), which is pretty forgiving if you're a beginner. The style of the waves includes both beach breaks and uneven reef, offering left and right waves depending on the conditions. For the best surfing experience, aim for low to mid tide, and if the wind is coming from the south, that can make for cleaner waves.

Ghazala Bay is beginner-friendly, so if you’re just starting out, it’s a good spot to practice your skills. The mix of wave types and directions gives newcomers opportunities to ride waves without feeling overwhelmed. Just keep an eye on the swell and wind directions to make the most of your time out on the water.
