Ouidah is a small town located along the coastline, known for its rich culture and vibrant history. The beach here offers a laid-back surfing experience, making it a decent choice for those looking to catch some waves without the hustle and bustle of more crowded spots. While not the most famous surf location, it does have its own unique charm that surfers might enjoy during a visit.

The waves in Ouidah start to get surfable at lower tides, with the optimal swell direction coming from the south. You can expect the swell to handle sizes around 1ft (0.3 meters) and break over sand, giving a nice beach vibe. Surf here produces left and right waves, which can be fun for beginners. The preferred wind direction is from the north, and both low and mid tides work best for catching some rides.

If you're not catching waves, check out the nearby snake temple, a local attraction that adds to the experience of Ouidah. It's a good option to fill your time when the waves aren't meeting your needs or if you're just looking to explore the area a bit more.
