Vazon Bay - Centres surf guide
Surf: Solid swells break on rarely surfed outer reef peak in the centre of the bay then reform into a fast, hollow, right sandbar. Best from mid up to just before the tide hits the wall.
Environment: Crowded if on as the break is the hub of the Guernsey scene. Car park overlooking the break.
Surf: General: The most popular surf spot on the island, there are as a number of distinct breaks here including a beginner-friendly beach, then The Reef with short rights and lefts at high tide. To the south is T'Others, a long right that breaks over rock and sand, followed by Centres, which wakes in a spring tide and bigger swells. The main spot on the island so expect it to be busy during peak season.
