Kiff waves - I live in walvis bay about 10km from guns and i will recommend this spot to anyone anywhere. But there are two things you must make sure about before you go there.-check the swell maps for swell (duh)-make damn sure the wind isint blowing or it is blowing from an easterly direction preferably due east, this blows the wave hollow and makes some of the most spectacular barrels you will see south of hawaii. i surfed there last weekend small but still fun about 10 of us in the water.
