Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ngor Rights over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Ngor Rights. I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. The swell is small and inconsistent, the wind is all over the shop, and it’s a real struggle to find a window that’s worth paddling out for.
The whole 16-day outlook is a bit of a bust. There’s a long gap of nothing but poor surf conditions and marginal calls. The standout moment, if you can call it that, is a brief window on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 16th. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (398). The wind is cross-off from the WSW at 12 mph, which should clean things up. For a spot that’s exposed to NW swell, this is the best we’re going to get, but it’s still only a marginal forecast. The water is sitting at 82°, with an anomaly of just 1°, so it’s about average for the time of year. Don’t expect any fireworks, but if you’re desperate for a slide, this is your moment.
Before that, most days are a write-off. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are all cross-shore wind and poor conditions. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th offer tiny, weak waves with clean conditions but no energy. The swell is just too small to get excited about. The week of the 14th shows a little more size, with 5 ft on the Tuesday and Wednesday, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” It’s not worth the effort.
The very end of the run, on Monday, July 20th, the afternoon shows a glassy 3 ft wave from the NNW with a period of 7 seconds. The wind goes glassy, which is rare, but the swell is tiny and the combined energy is weak (76). It’s a nice moment to be on the water but not for any real surfing.
Overall, there’s nothing here that’s going to get your heart racing. The 16-day window is a write-off for any quality surf. If you’ve got a kite, the stronger wind days might be more interesting than paddle surfing. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, I’d be looking for a different hobby.
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.
