Best Time for Jet Skiing in Zanzibar
Jet skiing runs all year at Nungwi and Kendwa on Zanzibar’s northern tip — the calmest stretch of coast on the island. Because these beaches face north, they sit sheltered from the southern kusi trade winds that roughen the east coast from June to October, and they have almost no tidal variation, so the water stays rideable at any hour of the day. The flattest, clearest conditions come in June to October and December to March, with morning sessions consistently glassier than afternoons.
- Excellent — flat water, light wind, best riding
- Good — breezier or brief passing showers
- Moderate — long rains, sessions may shift times
