No, I live far, far away.

Along the Ghana coast there are serious warnings about sideways and undertow currents. The beaches (e.g. at Axim) can be beautiful but I think it's dangerous for surfing or even swimming.

I'm not up-to-date, but I believe that Senegal is very stable. The ongoing separatist trouble in the far South (Casamance, south of Gambia) never seems to amount to much.
Senegal is 90% or more islamic, and there are posters and T-shirts with Osama bin Laden everywhere. Unless an American (or Dane) has important business in Senegal, I'd suggest staying away for a while. Ghana on the other hand is fine (except for the far North). To me, Ghana is a fun place to visit.
