Description

Guns - Walvis Bay Guns is a powerful left-breaking reef wave characterized by hollow and powerful swells. The bottom consists of flat rocks with sand, making it a challenging spot for surfers. It works best at low and mid tide, particularly during rising tide conditions, and is not operational during summer. Located 20 km south of Swakopmund, Guns is easily accessible behind the Dolphin Park, marked by a black toilet hut. This spot is renowned for its solid waves, attracting experienced surfers looking to test their skills when other locations are maxed out. With minimal crowds during the week and weekends, it offers a unique opportunity for surfers to enjoy uncrowded sessions. However, due to its powerful nature, it is recommended for experts only, as the waves can be intimidating, especially when the swell is significant.
