Cap Blanc
Nouadhibou, Mauritania
🏝️Remote🦈Sharks
Cap Blanc is Mauritania's northernmost point, where the coastline juts into the Atlantic and catches NW swells. The wave is a quality right that breaks in front of a seal colony (and yes, sharks are a consideration). This is frontier surfing at its most remote—few surfers have ever ridden these waves.
