About

Great spot with fantastic scenery. Also, another consistent and locally known wave is at Dixcove with about a 10-15 mn walk. Push on further to Akwidaa and Cape Three Points for adventure.

Atmosphere:
Great beach, friendly people. Nice and cheap guest houses to stay in and lobster dinners, fresh fruit juice, and banana pancakes for breakfast. The island is also a nice spot to camp at.

Additional Info:
Busua Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Ghana. Fun punchy wave with lots of power on large swells, but closes out a fair bit at low tide. Best to surf on incoming high tide where it seems to get bigger with the tidal push. The beach is about 3 km long, the east of the beach picks up more swell but close's out more than the west. The west end of the beach breaks better but the swell is smaller as the small offshore island seems to reduce the swell.The Island has a right and left wave breaking from it. The right seems to have a better shape and the left seems to close out, but very shallow without a bigger swell. The Island can play on the nerves if surfing alone.
