Searching for Sandbanks:
Find Better Waves. Every Session. Anywhere in the World.
A practical, no-BS course that teaches you how to read sandbars, currents, tides, and forecasts so you can consistently choose the best waves — not the waves everyone else settles for.
Â
ENROLL NOWÂ
Good waves aren’t luck.
Â
Most surfers paddle out based on the crowd or a quick look at the water.
Surf Sense surfers don’t.
You learn to read the beach like an athlete, not a tourist.
This course gives you the system Gui uses to consistently:
-
find clean, empty peaks
-
surf longer, higher-quality waves
-
understand why waves break the way they do
-
and choose the right spot before anyone else even realises it’s firing
If you’ve ever wondered why some surfers always seem to score the best waves — this is why.
 💡What you’ll learn:
1. Reading the Forecast Like a Pro
Understand wind, swell direction, energy, period, and spot limitations so you know exactly how a beach will behave before you arrive.
2. Identifying Good Sandbars
Learn how underwater shapes — triangles, trapeziums, channels, flats — determine the type of wave that forms and how long it runs.
3. Reading the Beach in Real Time
Know what to look for the moment you arrive: rip currents, deep-water holes, sand accumulation, tide behavior, and where a wave will break best.
4. Recognising Patterns Anywhere in the World
Once you understand how sand moves, you can surf any beach break — Peniche, France, Morocco, Nicaragua,  or home — with clarity and confidence.
