Guns surf guide

Guns is located further south near Walvisbaai and is known for being a powerful reef break, often considered the premier wave in the region. It offers surfers a chance to ride some solid swells, especially when other spots are too crowded or maxed out. It's a fairly accessible spot, and you can easily find it by looking for the Dolphin Park Chalets, which are a good reference point.

The wave here typically produces long lefts, especially when the swell is coming from the Southwest. It handles swell sizes well, starting at around 5 feet (about 1.5 meters) and can go up from there. The best time to catch a good ride is during low to mid tide. An east wind is preferable for optimal surf conditions. The uneven reef can create fast, powerful sections, making it best suited for more experienced surfers looking for a challenge.

Keep in mind that Guns offers some solid waves, but it's mostly for experts. If you're looking for a place to test your skills, this spot can be worth the trip. Just be prepared for the power and ensure you're up for it, as it can be a bit intimidating when the swell is big.
