adjective
rare
Marked by gulfs or deep chasms, or resembling the turbulent motion of a gulf or whirlpool.
Gulfy is an uncommon adjective describing terrain broken by wide, deep openings, or water that surges and swirls the way a gulf does. Sailors and older travel writers occasionally used gulfy to describe a stretch of coast riddled with inlets and deep channels rather than a smooth shoreline. Because the word is rare, it appears mostly in specialist lists and older prose.
