Right desk

seychelles · Mahé

Inner islands / Mahé

7.2OF 10

Day

low

Giant trevally should be the day — Ste Anne and the inner edges — a GT, not the Alphonse photograph. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

18 mph SE · incoming

Where

  • Ste Anne Marine Park · 6.7sand dropoff on a incoming tide is a workable match.
