Are you ready for a surf adventure in a place you've never been to? We'll be staying in two different accommodations along Ghana's Gold Coast and the final schedule for the trip will be determined by the swell and wind forecast – in order to surf some of the best right pointbreaks in West Africa.
Our trip will take place in the Gold Coast of Ghana, where 335 miles of tropical coastline are filled with some of the best mellow right point and beach breaks in West Africa. In August, the coastline is hit by swells up to 3m, with waves occasionally getting more powerful and barreling.
Get to know Ghana's growing and thriving surf community. Spend 5 nights in Kokrobite, a small, lively fishing village next to a super consistent beach break, great live music and mesmerising local dance troupes. Brett, who's been living in Ghana for fifteen years and founded the West Africa Surf Association will be our guide and host for the week.
Travel along Ghana's coast and experience its high biodiversity, from birds to butterflies and small populations of large mammal species. From stunning beaches to natural reserves and mangrove swamps, marvel at this fascinating country, where the equator and the prime meridian meet.
Set on a stretch of golden sand called Kokrobite beach, 30km west of Accra, you will be staying in a simple hotel with clean bright rooms, right on the beach.
Surrounding you, are one hundred and fifty trees, a large menagerie of pets, over thirty different bird species, many butterflies and a colony of friendly bats in the coconut trees.
All rooms the simple, bright and clean rooms have fans and are decorated with African art. Many of the double huts are of local clay bricks with thatched roofs to keep them cool. Most cottages are self-contained and several have A/C. Shower water is recycled to be used by the plants.
Stay in bungalows built along a pristine sandy beach, nestled between two rivers, in between the sea and green-covered hills.
On the site you will be surrounded by a variety of trees (mango, orange, lime, neem, coconut, banana, plantain, oil palm, and obrofo nkatie trees), flowers and organic gardens with fruits and vegetables.
All the structures are hand-built with earth, bamboo, raffia, thatch and wood. Everything has been designed to fit harmoniously in with the surrounding environment.
This beach front eco-lodge has a restaurant, bar, beach side gym and yoga shala (multi-use space).

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).
