Temperature
The water temperature is always over 24 degrees Celsius, so your wetsuit can stay at home unless you are easily prone to coldness, which can occasionally happen in Africa’s winter months (June-September). If you are prone to coldness, we recommend bringing a shorty or neoprene top. A 2mm shorty will keep you warm and allow you to stay out longer, especially later in the day. If you do not have a shorty, you can acquire one in our kitesurf shop.
paje lagoon
In the lagoon in front of the 3CZanzibnar, you will find a perfect kite heaven. A soft, sandy floor with shallow water for beginners and flat water for freestyle/freeride experts. The lagoon is split into two parts, separated by a seaweed farming area, which is very easy to see and to pass to the other part of the lagoon. Booties or shoes can be brought but are not used a lot, except for learning how to fly kites and for body dragging in the lagoon. They can be handy for protection against the odd sea urchin that escapes from the nearby farming operation. For the most part, the sea floors are sandy and soft.
REEF
The reef for surfing waves is 1.5 kilometers offshore with a perfect break. Launch and surf out to the waves with a minimum of three people for safety considerations, or take a surf trip downwinder with our instructors. When the tide is halfway to full tide, it’s time to explore the amazing waves, which can be very good. The waves on a normal day are around 1-1.5 meters, up to 3.5 meters, depending on the swell.
