The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
Let’s be real – the next week or so is a bummer. Small, weak swells and funky wind are going to keep things pretty quiet. The water is a warm 83°F, which is about 1°F above the norm for this time of year. Nothing crazy.
The one bright spot is Monday, July 28th. That morning at Club Med, we’ll see a northwest swell pushing in at 4ft with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 218 (moderate), and we’ve got light offshore wind from the northwest, keeping the surface glassy. This is a reef break, so the short-period swell will shape up better than it would on a beach. It’s advanced-only, and it can get crowded, so expect company. The water is warm and the conditions will be clean.
After that morning, the swell dies fast – down to less than 1ft by afternoon – and the rest of the week is mostly tiny waves and onshore chop. There’s a bump on Sunday, August 2nd with 3ft from the south-southwest, but it’s short period (7 seconds) and the wind will be cross, making it choppy. The energy is there (300 that afternoon), but the quality won’t be.
So, if you can, aim for Monday morning July 28th at Club Med. That’s the one to go for. Everything else in this 16-day stretch is a wash.
Rusty.

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.
