About Ahanta Waves Surf School & Camp

Ahanta Waves Surf School & Camp is a locally owned surf school and surf camp on Busua Beach in the Western Region of Ghana. It was founded in 2014 by Peter Ansah, a Busua Beach native surfer, and the operator brands itself "Home of surfing in Ghana," describing the school as sitting "right in the middle of Busua beach."

For visitors, the appeal is straightforward: surf lessons at beginner and intermediate levels, surfboard rental in a range of sizes, and guided surf trips or surf camp packages. The operator states that instructors are skilled surfers who hold lifeguard and first aid skills, and that beginner lessons include equipment such as a rash guard and softboard, covering board choice, balance, paddling and riding waves. The operator also states that Busua beach has good beginner waves year round, with prime learning time from November to April when waves average about 3ft, and that bigger breaks exist in and around Busua for experienced surfers.

Camp packages are offered for both beginners and experienced surfers, including a 7-day experienced camp exploring surf spots along Ghana's west coast. Accommodation is provided at Ahanta Eco Lodge, described by Global Citizen as a sustainable project by Ansah and his team whose funds support the surf school. The school also conducts beach cleanups and plastic waste collection.

The setting is Busua Beach in the Ahanta West Municipal district of the Western Region. The operator's contact page gives the address as "Busua beach, Western Region," and a secondary listing gives the address as the Busua-Dixcove road, Busua. Coordinates of approximately 4.805734, -1.938921 are recorded for the site, corroborated by a probable Google Places match on the Dixcove-Akwidaa Old Town Road, Busua.

Practical contact details are published by the operator: email [email protected], telephone 026 919 78 12 from within Ghana, or +233 26 919 78 12 internationally. Opening hours, prices and booking terms are not established by the available evidence, so visitors should confirm current arrangements directly before travelling.
