Tofo Beach

Inhambane Province, Mozambique
🦈Sharks🌀Strong rips🏝️Remote

Tofo Beach is Mozambique's best-known surf destination—a right-hand point break in a stunning location famous for whale shark encounters. The wave wraps around a headland, offering multiple sections and 100+ meter rides when Indian Ocean swells arrive during winter. Beyond surfing, Tofo is world-renowned for marine life: whale sharks, manta rays, and humpback whales. Shark activity is high but manageable. African adventure surfing meets underwater wonder.
