The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get real about what's on offer.
To be honest, looking at the whole 16-day window for Dahomey, it's a pretty grim picture. The swell is tiny and weak for the first week and a half, and the wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, which just ruins any chance of a decent wave. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 76°, but that’s about the only good news. The combined energy is weak (39) and the waves are just poor. This is a stretch where you’re better off finding something else to do.
We finally see a bit of life starting on Monday, July 27th. The morning shows a little bump of 6ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, giving the energy a kick (461). The wind is a gentle cross-shore, which is the best we’ve seen. The file calls it marginal, but compared to the rest of the junk, this is the standout. However, that afternoon the wind swings back to a cross-onshore chop, so the window is tight.
Then Tuesday, July 28th morning has a similar small window with 5ft from the NW and a light cross-onshore wind. It’s rated as marginal again, but the wind is light, so it might clean up a bit. Do not get your hopes up for anything epic. The swell direction from the NW is a decent match for the optimum, but the consistent onshore flow just kills any real quality for the entire period.
Honestly, there’s a massive gap with no real recommendations until that last week. For an area where breaks are fairly consistent, this is a rough run. The only real highlight is that Monday, July 27th morning, and even then, it’s only for the patient and the desperate. The rest is just a write-off.
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.
