The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles.
First up, we've got Club Med, a reef break that’s usually fairly consistent. The water’s a warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, I’m not gonna kid you – the surf is mostly flat and poor. The first week and a half is a real struggle, with tiny swell and messy wind. The earliest we see any rideable energy is right at the tail end, on August 7th. Even then, it’s only a 2ft SSW swell with a short period, and the wind is just okay. It’s barely surfable.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is August 9th. The swell picks up to 6ft to 6ft from the NW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a solid 424 and 437 (moderate wave energy), which is the biggest push we’ll see. But here’s the catch: the wind is blasting straight onshore from the West and Southwest at 12 mph, making it a choppy, messy mess. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, so honestly, this might be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers. It’s definitely not for beginners, and for experts, it’s a battle.
The rest of the outlook is just a long dry spell. From July 26th until August 6th, the swell is consistently under 3ft, the energy readings are mostly in the double digits (weak), and the wind is either cross or cross-onshore, creating bumpy, poor conditions. There’s a long gap of about 12 days with nothing worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: the only real window is on August 9th, but it’s a windy, messy one. Stay patient. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a tough stretch.

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.
