modelled
A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it. Good for comparing places, weaker for one beach.
Modelled from weather reanalysis on a 10–25 km grid (2020-2024), not a ground station: reliable for trade and synoptic winds, understates thermal sea breezes and valley winds. The typical daily max and the direction are columns of the table above, month by month. Highlighted months are the riding season from the spot record.

Rider tips
- Time it for December to February; January is when the south swell meets the north offshore wind.
- Pack your biggest kite: cross-onshore at 15-25 km/h, roughly 8-13 kt, will not fill a small one.
- Find the rocks in the line-up before you ride the inside.
- Ask at Big Milly's Backyard where people are launching; the kiting here sits inside the surf scene rather than beside it.
- Fly into Accra, 21 km away, and go 30 km west by road.
- Book a drumming or dance lesson at the Academy of African Music and Arts for the days with nothing on the water.
