Breaking 500m out to sea off the islet of Dom Hue all the breaks at Perelle suffer from strong winds. Best conditions are a light SE/E wind and a small/medium size groundswell. Anything up to 5-6ft is manageable with a fairly steep takeoff next to a group of rocks, followed by a fast longish wall into the shallows. When over 6ft+ it can become heavy and dangerous, be warned getting caught on the inside on a big day can be a nasty experience! Also watch for the shallow rocks just below the surface on the inside section as the tide drops.
Access same at right, the left breaks on the other side of a rocky outcrop from the right, the wave offers a ledgy takeoff followed by a long fun wall. Mellower and fatter then the right, it does however require a smaller swell to start breaking and works in a wider range of tides. As with the right and the peak it can hold large waves but can become heavy in big conditions.
Guernsey's big wave spot is located across a deep water channel from the Islet of Dom Hue. Rarely surfed (you have to walk pass the right/left to get out there), this spot picks up any swell going but as with the other breaks in this area it is easily blown out. Starts breaking properly at about 4/5ft and has been known to hold 10ft+. Generally consists of a relatively short right-hand bowl, this wave is not to be taken lightly, the shifting peak can see you easily getting caught in the impact zone by a wide set breaking further towards the channel.
