Mid tide
Ghana's best wave and its southernmost land point: a right-hand point break off the Cape Three Points headland near Dixcove, peeling over a rock-and-boulder ledge into the bay on a clean south swell. It is more exposed and more powerful than Busua, holds size, and is the closest thing to a real point break in the country, but access is rough (a long dirt road) and the takeoff is shallow rock. Best for competent surfers; beginners stay at Busua.
