Anecho surf guide

Surf: Heading east, it’s straight beachbreak and the odd short jetty until you approach the border of Benin, where the beautiful German colonial town of Anécho (or Aného) hides one of the best waves in either country. A series of short rock jetties can hold some shape and the end jetty, which protects the rivermouth, will sculpt some longer and hollow rights down a triangulated sandbar. Slower shoulders or racy closeouts, but be warned, it is a little fickle, exposed to the wind and the lagoon/river outflow can bring muddy, polluted water. Environment: Rips and it's getting more popular with the locals and expats, but hardly what you'd call crowded.
