The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk in feet and miles per hour, because some of us still think that way. The outlook is the same: it’s a grim run for the region. Ngor Rights is the only game in town, and it’s a tough one.
Starting Friday July 24th, it’s a mess. Ngor Rights has a 3ft swell from the NNW at 8 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore and it’s just ugly. The energy is weak (115). That afternoon, the wind cleans up to a cross-off, but the swell drops to 3ft and the energy is even weaker (83). It’s surfable, but that’s about the best you can say.
From Saturday July 25th through to Saturday August 1st, it’s a long, dry spell. The wind is mostly cross-on or cross, and the swell never lines up. There’s a bigger pulse on Wednesday July 29th with a 6ft swell from the NNW, but it’s getting blasted by a 19 mph cross-on wind. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. The energy gets moderate (495), but it’s worthless with that wind. For a full week, it’s just poor conditions.
The second week, from Sunday August 2nd to Saturday August 8th, the swell backs off and the wind is still a problem. You get a few cleaner moments, like Thursday August 6th afternoon with a cross-off breeze and a 2ft, 11-second swell, but it’s too small (127 energy). The only real chance is Saturday August 8th morning: light cross-off wind, and a 3ft swell from the NNW. It’s the cleanest wave of the whole 16 days, but the energy is still weak (113). It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much.
There’s no standout here. The whole 16-day window is a washout. With the swell and wind we’re seeing, some of the beach breaks might be better for kite surfing than for us. For the paddle crew, it’s a waiting game. Ngor Rights is consistent, but it rarely gets the right wind. We’ll just have to see if the models change.
Keep your chin up, but don’t get your hopes up.

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.
