About Skeleton Bay / Donkey Bay
Skeleton Bay, also known as Donkey Bay, is a world-renowned surf break situated on Namibia's remote Skeleton Coast within the Erongo Region. This legendary spot is famous for producing some of the longest, most perfect left-hand barrels on the planet. Accessing this desert gem often requires a 4x4 due to unpaved desert roads. The waves here are exceptionally powerful and best suited for advanced surfers when specific large groundswells hit, typically during the southern hemisphere's winter months from May to September.
