Bouches du Roi Surf Forecast Guide

Bouches du Roi is a beach break sitting close to the border with Togo, with Grand-Popo the first town along this stretch of coast. The waves break over sand and can go both left and right, but this is mostly low-quality closeout shorebreak that is often unsurfable.

When It Works

The beach draws swell from the southwest through southeast, and a south swell is the best match. It is usable from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 1.2 m / 4 ft.

Wind and Tide

Look for a north offshore wind. The break works on low and mid tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

Bouches du Roi suits intermediate surfers most. Be wary of the powerful, dangerous rips that run along this beach.
