Surfing in Guinea
Including Conakry Peninsula. On the map.
The vibe
The open Atlantic swells pound this coastline with powerful, unmanaged beach breaks that receive very few visiting wave-riders. The cleanest conditions line up during the middle months when offshore winds organize the bigger swells rolling in from the south. You are completely on your own out here with no surf camps, rentals, or local guides to show you the peaks.
