The island, Dakar
A right off Île de N'Gor, a short boat from Dakar. The city is behind you. The island is the peak. Warm water, a fishing neighbourhood, a wave that works when the north Atlantic is on.
When.
November to March
North swell in winter. The peninsula sticks out into it. The island is the cleanest look.
The lineup.
The islandThe beach
Worth knowing.
- 1. The boat is the session. The mainland beach is a different, softer look.
- 2. Winter is the window. The dry months are the cleaner air.
- 3. Almadies is the neighbourhood. Dakar is the rest of the day.
- 4. This is a city break with a reef, not a remote camp. Plan the boat and the timing.
Go.
