Table - best surf conditions forecast for Club Med over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with ya – the next 16 days at Club Med are a tough watch. The forecast kicks off on Saturday the 11th of July, and honestly, there’s not much to get excited about. The first couple of days are a write-off with poor surf conditions and messy cross-onshore winds. The swell is small and the energy is weak, so it’s a real flat spell. The best of the bunch comes around Monday the 13th of July, but even then, it’s only a small window. We’ve got a decent sized groundswell rolling in from the SSW, with a long 17-second period, but the swell height is only 3ft. The combined energy is moderate at 550 (moderate wave energy), and the water is a warm 82°F, which is about average for this time of year. The wind is offshore from the NW, making for clean conditions. It’s a reef break, so that long period will work well, but it’s only for advanced surfers and only fairly consistent. Crowds are possible here. After that, the swell drops off fast, and the rest of the window is filled with poor surf, small waves, and onshore winds. There’s a gap of about a week with no real recommendations, and the forecast is pretty grim. For the second week, the swell is tiny and the wind is all over the place – not worth paddling out for. If you’re determined, Monday the 13th is your only real shot, but it’s a marginal call. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

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.
