Overview
Guana Bay is a mediocre beachbreak where wind-blown straight-handers roll onto sugary sand. It's a safe, easygoing spot that suits beginners and usually has some kind of breaking wave on offer.
When It Works
The bank draws swell from north through east-northeast to southeast, with east swell the best match. It breaks both left and right over sand and stays usable from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 1.8 m / 6 ft. Consistency is one of its strengths, so you can generally count on finding something to ride.
Wind and Tide
Look for west offshore wind to clean things up. The beach works through most of the tide, from low to high, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This is a friendly place to learn, well suited to beginners. Expect a fairly quiet lineup, and even though it breaks often, it tends to stay uncrowded since there are usually better options nearby.
Access
There's free roadside parking close to the beach.
