The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be honest – looking at Dahomey, we’ve got a pretty grim run over the next 16 days. Honestly, I’d call this a write-off for the most part. The whole period from now through to early August is a flat, windy mess. There’s no real surf on offer for you. The occasional bump in swell, like the morning of July 26th, delivers a wave of about 5ft from the NW with a 8-second period, but it’s still labeled marginal at best. The wind is a constant problem – it’s all cross, cross-onshore, or even onshore the whole way through, so nothing is going to have that clean face you’re after. The water temp is about 75°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive. The combined energy never really gets going; it peaks at a moderate 372 on that Sunday afternoon, but with the chop, it’s just not worth it. For beginners, anything over about 5ft starts to get pushy, but with the wind messing it up, even the smaller days are ugly. There’s a gap of no recommendations at all for the first several days, and then it’s just more of the same. Honestly, for the whole first week, there’s nothing to get excited about, and the second week is even worse – the swell drops right off, with energy values sinking below 100. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not totally abnormal, but it’s still frustrating. I’d say save your energy, mate. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.

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.
