About Lomé Rivage
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (155°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (335°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 24). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 24°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually November, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Lomé, 1.5 km away (about 5 min by car).
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
