The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. The next two weeks in Dahomey? It’s a slow grind. There’s a little window of opportunity around Monday and Wednesday, but you’ll have to be patient. We’re looking at a lot of small, junky swell with onshore winds making a mess of things. Don’t get your hopes up for anything epic, but there are a couple of moments where it could be worth a paddle.
The first real chance is Monday morning, September 7th. The wind is offshore from the east at 3 mph, and the swell is a clean 1.9 ft from the northwest. The period is a very long 15 seconds, which is a groundswell. That kind of period will give you some nice, powerful lines, but it might break a bit too straight for a beach break setup. It’s a small wave, but the energy is there (378). It’s the cleanest it’ll be all week.
Then Wednesday morning, September 9th is your other standout. Glassy conditions with a 4.6 ft northwest swell. The period is a shorter 9 seconds, so it’ll be a bit more sectiony, but with no wind and a little more size, it’s the best wave on offer. The energy is solid (472). It’s still small enough for a beginner, but with that clean face, it’ll be fun for anyone.
The rest of the period is a lot of blown-out, choppy, or just plain small surf. You get a couple of glassy mornings with tiny surf (like Sunday the 6th and Friday the 11th), but the swell is too weak to get excited about. There’s a long stretch from the 12th to the 20th where there’s next to nothing worth mentioning. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
So, keep your eyes on Monday and Wednesday. Everything else is a write-off. Don't bother with the rest. It’s a tough outlook.

Information about the Dahomey Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dahomey provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dahomey can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dahomey surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Dahomey) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dahomey may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
