The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up.
We're in for a pretty quiet stretch. The first week doesn't offer much at all, mostly small and weak junky surf. The better news is that things look like they might finally wake up at the end of the second week. Patience is key.
The one to really get excited about is Wednesday, September 16th at Club Med. We're looking at a clean cross-offshore breeze with a nice little pulse of 2ft to 3ft SSW groundswell. The period is a long 13 to 14 seconds, so those waves will have some punch and shape to them, and being a reef, it should handle that long period just fine. The combined energy is solid at 238 to 288 (moderate wave energy). It's not too big, so it's in the sweet spot for advanced surfers, but you'll want to know the reef. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit is the call.
The lead-up is a bit of a drag. The first time you might even get wet is Tuesday, September 8th afternoon, with a tiny 2ft NW swell, but it's still pretty ordinary. Wednesday morning, September 9th, actually gets a mention with a 3ft NW swell and a long period, but the combined energy of 256 (moderate) is paired with a clean cross-offshore wind. It's a small window, but it might be the best of a bad lot before the real deal.
After that Wednesday, it drops right off again. Thursday, September 10th, is flat and glassy, but the swell is tiny. Then we have a long, dry run of poor conditions from Friday through to the middle of the following week. The swell is weak, the wind is often onshore or cross-shore, and it's just not worth your time.
Then we hit that Wednesday, September 16th, which is the one to circle. The swell builds nicely, and the wind stays clean. The following Thursday, September 17th, gets a bit choppy again with onshore wind, so that Wednesday window is your best bet.
So, it's a waiting game. The first week is a no-go, but that second Wednesday might just give you a few proper waves. Keep an eye on it.

Information about the Club Med Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Club Med provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Club Med can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Club Med surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Club Med) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Club Med may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Club Med is 6 km (4 miles) from the very large city of Dakar. If you plan a holiday in Senegal, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dakar. Dakar has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as cheap car hire and transport links.
