Surf conditions

The climate in Ghana is tropical and humid, with temperatures averaging 23°C –32°C.  Water temperatures average 26°C. From August to September, it can be a few degrees cooler so we recommend you to bring a spring suit along with your bikini / boardshorts.

Ghana receives sw swells from the South Atlantic Ocean and the best months are from May until October when swells of up to 3m are possible, with waves occasionally getting hollow and powerful.  Most of the time the surf is head-high, and we suggest taking a mid-lenght, fish, or another high-volume board in your quiver.  The best time for surfing is early in the day before sea breezes rise from the west (some waves are sheltered from the wind).

Bordering the Gulf of Guinea, Ghana has a lush, green 539-km coastline (the Gold Coast).  There is a variety of waves with beach breaks, reefs, river mouths, and points to be found along the country’s predominantly southeast-facing coast.

Rcommended wetsuit

Boardshorts + vest or short springsuit recommended (2/2mm or 3/2mm)

Avg. water temperature

22-25°C in August and September

Crowd factor

Low to non existent, except for the surf hub of Busua and closest to Accra

Weather
Tropical and humid, with temperatures ranging between 23°C – 32°C
