Hawkes Bay

Hawkes Bay is where Pakistan's nascent surf scene has taken root—a beach west of Karachi where monsoon swells occasionally push through the Arabian Sea to create surfable waves. The local surf club has been steadily growing the community, introducing young Pakistanis to a sport virtually unknown in the country. The waves are inconsistent and the infrastructure is basic, but the pioneering spirit is real. For surfers seeking the truly unusual experience of surfing in Pakistan, Hawkes Bay represents the starting point of something potentially significant.
