Welcome to NGor Island Surf Camp
A paradise on a tiny Island surrounded by a few world class waves, close to the city centre of Dakar. The camp offers you to stay in a nice and clean surfhouse with a pool, outside showers and sunbeds - a perfect place to chill after a long day of surfing. We are serious about surfing, and awesome in accommodation.
Features
LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS
Every day our local surf guides will take you to the best of the 21 surrounding surf spots, suited to your level and the surf conditions on the day. Located on the most Western point of Africa, the Dakar peninsula attracts swell from the North, West and South offering potentially Africa's largest and most consistent swell window.
The waves here are consistent all year round - almost twice as consistent as France and Morocco in summer, and despite nearly half a century of surfing in Senegal, there has never been a shark incident on a surfer. We always do our best to make sure that our guests are at the best place at the right time; monitoring the local swell forecasts and most importantly getting an eyes-on report of the spots at first light. Surf trips at the camp run all day, so if dawn patrol isn't your thing, you can join the several other trips that leave throughout the day, either by 4x4 or by boat drop-off straight at the peak.

SURF COURSE DETAILS
Surfing has no age limit. We have lessons for all ages, levels and nationalities. From people that never saw a board or the sea, to those that already have previous experience of surfing but still don`t feel comfortable with it and those who have been riding waves for years and want to improve their technique. The teachers at the surf school are all local surfers, some of the best in the country. The will teach you how to surf, guide and give you an all African experience.
Every day our local guide Mour Mbengue will take you to the best of 19 spots. Located on the most Western point of Africa the nearby mainland peninsular attracts swell from the North, West and South offering potentially Africa's largest and most consistent swell window. The waves here are consistent all year round--almost twice as consistent as in France and Morocco in summer. And, despite nearly half a century of surfing in Senegal, there has never been a shark attack on a surfer.

Activities and facilities:
Walking around the Island you can find small galleries offering art and music. On the bay side you will find quiet white sandy beaches where you can swim, relax or eat lunch. At the local beachside restaurants they serve different fish, gambas, lobster all caught by the local NGor fisherman. There are also two small grocery shops selling drinks, snacks and anything else you may need. On the side facing the Atlantic Ocean, the coast is pounded by almost constant swell. The solid rock foundation is creating optimal conditions for surfing. A left and a right running at each their tide, picking up even the smallest Atlantic swell in the summer. The night life on the island is very calm and quiet. At the camp we organize some barbecues with music and there is always a place to have a drink on the beach.
