Krake is located near the Bénin-Nigeria border, a spot that offers some decent surf options, especially for beginners. It has a sandy bottom and is known to receive more swell, making it potentially good for catching waves. The area doesn't see many surfers, which can be a plus if you enjoy a more laid-back atmosphere.

The surf at Krake is quite manageable with optimal swell directions coming from the South. It works well with swell sizes starting at 1ft (0.3m) and can handle waves breaking both left and right. The beach break is generally best during low to mid tides and does favor north winds. It’s a good spot for beginners to practice, but always be mindful of the strong rips that can occur.

In addition to the surf itself, Krake's location can feel a bit remote since the nearby border town has very limited accommodation options. This spot might not have the amenities you find in more popular areas, so plan accordingly. It’s a place where you can enjoy some waves with minimal crowds, provided you are prepared for the basic surroundings.
