About Guegue
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (263°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (83°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–6 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.3 km out (1 in 435). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 26°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best months are usually April, May and November, with about 6 good days in 7; in August, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Libreville, 4.1 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
