The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the straight-up on your local surf outlook. Let’s get into it.
Alright, listen up. We’re looking at a pretty quiet run for the next couple of weeks with only a couple of moments that might get your blood pumping. The first few days are a write-off with poor surf and messy winds, so don’t even bother. The real action doesn’t show up until the second weekend.
The first surf that’s even worth a second look is at Ngor Rights on Friday afternoon, the 7th of August. It’s tiny, just 2ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a rare treat, and the water’s sitting at a warm 82°, pretty much normal for this time of year. The energy is weak (68), so you’ll be on a longboard, but it’ll be clean. The next little window is Tuesday afternoon, the 11th of August, also at Ngor Rights. Same deal – 3ft from the NNW, 8 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy picks up a bit to 186 (moderate), but still, it’s not setting the world on fire. It’s surfable, but just barely.
Now, the standout. The real highlight is on Saturday and Sunday, the 15th and 16th of August. On Saturday afternoon, the swell fills in from the SW at 3ft with a very long period of 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps to 463 (moderate), and the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is a reef break, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely. Sunday morning and afternoon are just as good: 3ft from the SW, periods of 15 and 14 seconds, and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy holds strong at 435-447. This is your best bet. The crowds at Ngor Rights can be an issue at times, so get in early. These waves are best for intermediate surfers. The swell is small, so it’s fine for everyone.
Remember, the 15th and 16th are the ones to circle on your calendar. Before that, it’s mostly windy and choppy, with a few glassy moments for the patient. The first week is a write-off, so don’t get your hopes up until that second weekend.
Rusty.

Information about the Ngor Rights Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ngor Rights provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ngor Rights can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ngor Rights 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 (Ngor Rights) 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 Ngor Rights 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.
Ngor Rights 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.
