Guernsey - The Knife

The Knife is a left-hand point that breaks over the boulder reef on the northern side of Portifer bay. Requiring a spring high tide to break, it consists of generally fast, short and hollow left-handers breaking off or around the point. A fairly exposed spot, it picks up most available swell and can often produce 3-4 waves when Vazon is only 1-2ft. Generally known as a small wave spot as it starts to close out and get messy at around the 5-6ft mark and therefore is generally surfed on smaller swells during the spring and summer periods.



Guernsey - Vazon Beach

The beach is directly below the northern end of the surfers carpark at Vazon. Requiring a relatively good sized swell to start working the beach at Vazon generally consists of slow predominately righthand waves breaking over the beach at the northern end of Vazon bay. Behaving differently depending upon the tide, low tide Vazon consists of steeper and more powerful waves that have a tendancy to close-out. Mid to high tide when on the push produces better shape, with fun right-hand walls all the way to the inside, unfortunately this is at the expense of power as the wave become slow and weak. On bigger tides the backwash from the seawall makes the beach unsurfable.



Guernsey - T'otherside

Requiring a decent sized swell to start working T'otherside is a long fun right-hander that breaks over a group of rocks to the south of the reef. More a slow longboarding wave when small, T'other can really come into it's own in big winter swells producing good workable long walls all the way to the beach.



Guernsey - Suckers

You can count on your hands the people that have surfed this wave over the years.Only works 2hrs ethier side of spring lowtides.You can see the wave from the main carpark @perelle .If the wave isn't breaking outside the rock that is by the peak then don't bother with the paddle.Only surf it when you can see a good swell is running.The wave comes in as a hollow peak which barrels on take of past a big rock and then fattens out .Best to surf it yourself.Can handle a sw wind as it faces n.



Guernsey - Perelle Right

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.



Guernsey - Portinfer

The most consistant beach break on Guernsey, portifer is usually 2ft bigger than vazon. Best of the down tide, Portinfer start breaking a mid-tide producing rights and lefts in the middle of the bay. The lower the tide the more hollow and powerful the wave becomes, unfortunately it also has more of a tendancy to close out.



Guernsey - Suck Reef

Suck reef is a mid-high tide peak that breaks over an outside reef in the centre of vazon bay. Works only during large winter swells when t'otherside starts to hit the 5-6ft mark. Generally recognised as a left which offers a fast ledgy take-off followed by a decent walling section before dropping off as the reef deepens on the inside. The more rarely surfed right offers a shallow & steep take-off followed by a good initial wall followed by a flatter second section. Generally breaks up to about 8ft when the left joins up with the rights of t'otherside to close-out the middle of the bay, at this size the right also closes-out most of the way to centres reef.



Guernsey - Perelle Left

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 - Fort Le Marchant

This spot generally only works during large winter storms that produce enough swell to rap into the sheltered northerly facing bay (rarely works on large ground-swells). The bonus of the situation is that the predominate SW winds produced by these storms means that this place is generally offshore when breaking. In these conditions head down here at mid-tide on a falling tide. Access into the water is through a small gully below the carpark, the paddle out is easy as a rip runs parallel to the point straight through the take-off zone. The waves only starts to break at around the 5ft mark alongside a group of rocks that become dry as the tide drops. Take-off can be hairy as the wave jacks-up surprising quickly, if you are not committed when big you will very much regret it!! The initial section consists of a powerful and hollow wall that allows the opportunity for a couple of decent moves before the waves then starts to slow and flatten out as it breaks further out into the channel. It's an idea to keep a constant eye on the outside as sets are often masked by the rocks around the headland and can sneak in quickly, you do not want to be on the inside when a big set rolls in!! Generally best for a couple of hours after mid-tide, the wave becomes inconsistant and shallow on the inside at low tide.



Guernsey - L'Ancresse Pembroke

Just park in the main car-parks, they both overlook the whole stretch of beach, the two spots are seperated by rock outlets.

A fairly exposed spot, it picks up most available swell and can often produce 3-4 waves when Vazon is only 1-2ft. Generally known as a small wave spot as it starts to close out and get messy at around the 5-6ft mark and therefore is generally surfed on smaller swells during the spring and summer periods.



Guernsey - Vazon Beach

The beach is directly below the northern end of the surfers carpark at Vazon. Requiring a relatively good sized swell to start working the beach at Vazon generally consists of slow predominately righthand waves breaking over the beach at the northern end of Vazon bay. Behaving differently depending upon the tide, low tide Vazon consists of steeper and more powerful waves that have a tendancy to close-out. Mid to high tide when on the push produces better shape, with fun right-hand walls all the way to the inside, unfortunately this is at the expense of power as the wave become slow and weak. On bigger tides the backwash from the seawall makes the beach unsurfable.



Guernsey - T'otherside

Requiring a decent sized swell to start working T'otherside is a long fun right-hander that breaks over a group of rocks to the south of the reef. More a slow longboarding wave when small, T'other can really come into it's own in big winter swells producing good workable long walls all the way to the beach.



Guernsey - Suckers

You can count on your hands the people that have surfed this wave over the years.Only works 2hrs ethier side of spring lowtides.You can see the wave from the main carpark @perelle .If the wave isn't breaking outside the rock that is by the peak then don't bother with the paddle.Only surf it when you can see a good swell is running.The wave comes in as a hollow peak which barrels on take of past a big rock and then fattens out .Best to surf it yourself.Can handle a sw wind as it faces n.



Guernsey - Perelle Right

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.



Guernsey - Portinfer

The most consistant beach break on Guernsey, portifer is usually 2ft bigger than vazon. Best of the down tide, Portinfer start breaking a mid-tide producing rights and lefts in the middle of the bay. The lower the tide the more hollow and powerful the wave becomes, unfortunately it also has more of a tendancy to close out.



Guernsey - Suck Reef

Suck reef is a mid-high tide peak that breaks over an outside reef in the centre of vazon bay. Works only during large winter swells when t'otherside starts to hit the 5-6ft mark. Generally recognised as a left which offers a fast ledgy take-off followed by a decent walling section before dropping off as the reef deepens on the inside. The more rarely surfed right offers a shallow & steep take-off followed by a good initial wall followed by a flatter second section. Generally breaks up to about 8ft when the left joins up with the rights of t'otherside to close-out the middle of the bay, at this size the right also closes-out most of the way to centres reef.



Guernsey - Perelle Left

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 - Fort Le Marchant

This spot generally only works during large winter storms that produce enough swell to rap into the sheltered northerly facing bay (rarely works on large ground-swells). The bonus of the situation is that the predominate SW winds produced by these storms means that this place is generally offshore when breaking. In these conditions head down here at mid-tide on a falling tide. Access into the water is through a small gully below the carpark, the paddle out is easy as a rip runs parallel to the point straight through the take-off zone. The waves only starts to break at around the 5ft mark alongside a group of rocks that become dry as the tide drops. Take-off can be hairy as the wave jacks-up surprising quickly, if you are not committed when big you will very much regret it!! The initial section consists of a powerful and hollow wall that allows the opportunity for a couple of decent moves before the waves then starts to slow and flatten out as it breaks further out into the channel. It's an idea to keep a constant eye on the outside as sets are often masked by the rocks around the headland and can sneak in quickly, you do not want to be on the inside when a big set rolls in!! Generally best for a couple of hours after mid-tide, the wave becomes inconsistant and shallow on the inside at low tide.



Guernsey - L'Ancresse Pembroke

Just park in the main car-parks, they both overlook the whole stretch of beach, the two spots are seperated by rock outlets.
