About This Spot
Guns is a beach break located on Namibia's Atlantic coast, facing westward into the ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with visible rocky formations both onshore and in shallow waters. The area shows significant coastal development with residential and commercial structures, creating a semi-sheltered environment. Wave conditions are modest, averaging 1.15m, making this suitable for beginners and intermediate riders. Wind reliability is very low at 1.9%, with average wind speeds of 5.9 knots, indicating this is a marginal wind spot requiring specific weather windows. The northerly or southerly winds (side-shore) would be optimal for the west-facing beach. The shallow water and obstacles require careful navigation during sessions. Best suited for riders seeking protected conditions or practicing in light wind. Water temperature around 19.5°C requires a wetsuit. The proximity to development means crowds are possible during good-wind days. Suitable for progression and skill-building rather than advanced performance.
