Guernsey - Perelle Right
Edit SpotAbout
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.
