About This Spot
Gue Gue is a beach break located on Gabon's Atlantic coastline facing westward toward the open ocean. The spot sits within an industrial zone featuring a major port facility with associated logistics infrastructure visible in the northern section. The sandy beach provides basic access, though development and port operations limit available riding space. Wind conditions are extremely marginal, with only 0.5% reliability and an average of just 5.3 knots, making this location challenging for consistent kitesurfing. Wave heights average 0.54m with light swell characteristics typical of equatorial Atlantic conditions. The location suits only beginners on rare days when wind materializes, and primarily serves as a secondary option when other regional spots are unavailable. The industrial setting creates environmental considerations and potential traffic hazards from port operations. Water quality may be affected by industrial activities. Kiters should verify local wind forecasts carefully before visiting, as calm conditions dominate. The spot requires moderate fetch distance across open ocean but benefits from occasional northerly trade wind patterns.
