Monogaga is a surf spot located near Sassandra, offering a laid-back vibe for surfers looking to catch some waves. The place is protected by a jutting headland, which helps to create a unique surf experience. It's not the most crowded spot, so you can enjoy a bit of space while you ride.
The best surf at Monogaga happens with a decent swell. It works best with waves coming from the south, handling heights as low as 1ft (0.3 meters) and can handle swells from the southeast and southwest. The right point break is the main attraction here, but you’ll need a sizable swell for it to really come alive. Expect the waves to break over a mix of boulders and sand, making it a bit varied. This spot is suitable for beginners, especially with low to mid tide, and the ideal wind direction is northwest.
If you're planning to hit Monogaga, keep in mind that nearby Victory Beach has a similar setup, but if you want something more isolated, Niega Beach offers some average peaks and the occasional decent right over rock. Overall, Monogaga can be a solid choice for those looking to enjoy a mellow day in the water.
