Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Kokrobite?
Kokrobite is a beach break in Greater Accra, Ghana, with peaks that run both left and right.
What swell works best at Kokrobite?
Kokrobite picks up swell from the S round to the SW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the SSW. It starts working at around 0.5m and handles up to about 2m, with the sweet spot around 1.2 to 1.6m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at Kokrobite?
A NNE wind is dead offshore at Kokrobite, and anything from the N round to the ENE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 10am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.

Kokrobite is at its best around mid tide, roughly 0.3m to 1.5m on the local chart.
