Elmina's exotic beaches are fringed with palms, the obligatory fort and a slow breaking, right pointbreak. In the early morning and evening, canoes paddle out through the surf and return, surfing on the crests of the waves, laden with fish for immediate sale at the local market.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
