Surfing in Senegal

Surf Senegal wins the prize for the best Quick Facts - the languages and currency are just the best!

So how about some useful information on surfing in Senegal. Let's start by saying there is a huge amount of quality spots and and they all have easy access. The low cost of living here is an added bonus for the travelling surfer. The Almadies Peninsula, just outside Dakar has the largest swell window of the Senegal coastline, making it an ideal base for a surf trip. Not only do you benefit from all available swell but also from being able to pick the best break for the wind.

November to March is the best time with the winter swells being pushed down from the north. The north and north west swells that arrive can be expected to be in the 2-10ft range - giving good conditions for surfers of all levels. August to October sees smaller but consistent swells in the 3-6ft range. The long dry season should also ensure a pleasant trip.

Senegal's most famous wave is probably the righthander at N'gor beach - one of the classic surf spots featured in Endless Summer.
