SURFING IN DAKAR

The geographic shape of Senegal is perfect for surfing: the spots are located along the coast north of Dakar and along the coast to the south and this makes it possible to surf both with the swell coming from the north and the ones coming from the south. Surfing in Senegal has become famous many years ago by surf movie "Endless Summer", and is now a destination well known by surfers but still unexplored and uncrowded.

From September to April, this area enjoys constant swells from the North Atlantic, featuring all of the famous points in the area, for intermediate and experienced surfers, but there are also beach breaks and spots that are more sheltered, perfect for beginners.

During the months from May to August there are small and clean waves, great for beginners.

Yoff Beach Very constant beach break, with many peaks along the beach. Soft wave, suitable for all levels of surf. Great spot for surf school.
