Il est préférable de surfer le matin car le vent tourne ou se lève dans la matinée.
Le spot est très très sale, la plage est jonchée de déchets et d'autres surprises. L'eau est également sale avec de nombreux plastiques qui flottent.
Il est préférable d'y surfer en combinaison pour éviter au maximum le contact avec d'éventuels déchets.
Par ailleurs la vague est la plus agréable à surfer du Bénin et peut dérouler sur environ 100m à partir de la digue. Une première section souvent très creuse avec un take off sympa puis une section plus molle. La dernière section creuse à nouveau à mesure qu'on se rapproche du rivage. Il y a possibilité d'effectuer trois ou quatre manoeuvres en surf les bons jours et de prendre quelques tubes sur la première section en bodyboard.”
