AWAVE Travel

Welcome to the Namib Desert…the oldest desert in the world! When you surf here, you are riding waves powered by a freezing ocean current that travels all the way up from Antarctica. When this icy water meets the hot desert air, it creates a thick, dramatic magical morning fog.

Why are the waves so long and mechanical? The fierce desert winds shape the coastal sand into long, perfectly straight underwater banks. When the long Traveling waves hit these sandbanks, they peel flawlessly down the coast for what feels like forever giving Namibia some of the longest most perfect waves in the world.

A surf trip here is truly something special!

Of course when exploring a place this wild, you need a great place to stay! We partner with two perfect ways to experience Swakopmund:

Salty Jackal Surf Camp and Salty Villa are your perfect home bases. One, a community-driven surf camp with expert coaching and surf guiding to a private, stylish villa both bridging the gap between rugged adventure and cozy coastal living.
