The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Dahomey over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty ordinary, with small, weak swell and unfriendly winds. The real standout window is Monday the 31st of August, early – that’s the pick of the whole forecast. You’ll get a clean, glassy 5 ft NW swell with a period of 7 seconds, and the water temp is sitting about average for the time of year. The energy is moderate (278) and the conditions are glassy, which is a rare treat around here. It’s a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, and the optimum swell direction is NW, so it’s lining up nicely. Just be aware that crowds are possible, as it’s sometimes busy.
After that, the wind turns messy again through the rest of the week, with cross-onshore breezes and choppy conditions. The swell sticks around 5 ft to 6 ft from the NW, but the onshores ruin it for paddle surfing. Honestly, if you’re into kiteboarding, the combo of decent swell and strong cross-shore wind on Saturday the 29th of August afternoon might be more your thing.
Into the second week, things get a bit patchy. The morning of Thursday the 3rd of September has another glassy window with a 4 ft NW swell (252 energy), but it’s just ordinary surf otherwise. Then we drop off into smaller, weaker swell from the 4th to the 5th, with energy down in the double digits. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 6th of September morning – a 3 ft NW swell with a longer period of 12 seconds and light cross-shore wind, but it’s only marginal. The 7th and 8th stay ordinary, with the morning of the 8th offering another glassy, small 4 ft NW swell. The 9th sees a return to 5 ft NW swell, but again, cross-onshore winds keep it messy.
So, if you’re keen, make the call on Monday the 31st of August morning. That’s your best bet. The rest is a bit of a wait-and-see.
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.
