Sheraton, Novotel Surf Forecast Guide

Overview

Sheraton, Novotel is a beach break that fires on the sandbars in front of the Sheraton and Novotel hotels, towards Cotonou. When the banks come together, the sand throws up both lefts and rights, and the mellow setup makes it a spot beginners can enjoy.

When It Works

The sandbars only turn on now and then, so timing matters. When they do, the beach draws swell from southwest to southeast, with south swell the best match. It's usable from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 1.8 m / 6 ft.

Wind and Tide

Look for north offshore wind to clean it up. The bank breaks on low and mid tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

The soft, sand-bottomed peaks are well suited to beginners. Keep in mind that pollution and beach crime can be an issue here.
