The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breaking it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
Let’s be honest, the next 16 days at Club Med look grim. From Friday September 4th right through Wednesday the 9th, you can leave your board in the car. Swell is tiny – nothing over 2 feet – and the wind is junk, mostly cross-onshore or just messy. Wave energy is weak (as low as 18 to 96). Total waste of time.
Thursday the 10th is more of the same, clean-ish but still only 1.3 feet. Friday the 11th morning finally shows a pulse: 2 feet from the S, 7 second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind. Energy is still weak (66) – surfable but very ordinary. It’s the first thing that’s been rideable.
Saturday the 12th afternoon is a different animal, but only for experts. The swell jumps to 4.3 feet from the NW with a short 6 second period. Energy is moderate (173), but that’s a short-period, dumpy windswell. With strong cross-off winds (15 mph from the NW), it’ll be clean but tricky, shifty, and powerful. Expert-only.
Then we go quiet again. Sunday the 13th through Monday the 14th morning gives you a tiny clean window on Monday: 2 feet from the SSW, 12 second period, light offshore NNE breeze. Moderate energy (126). Surfable but very ordinary. Tuesday the 15th morning is glassy – flat calm, 1.3 feet from the SSW, 11 second period – barely surfable (energy 65).
Wednesday the 16th afternoon shows a little bump: 2.3 feet from the SSW, 10 seconds, clean cross-off wind, energy 103. Surfable, but you’re scratching.
The last few days – Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th – the swell stays around 2 to 2.6 feet, but the wind goes cross-shore and creates chop. Energy climbs to 206 and 211, but it’s choppy, not clean.
The only real standout is Saturday the 12th afternoon. If you’re a strong surfer after some short-period, punchy windswell, that’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet stretch. Water temp feels about average for the time of year.
Hang in there. It usually doesn’t stay this flat forever.

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.
