N`Gor Island Surfcamp (Dakar, Senegal)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

---

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.

ACCOMMODATION AND CATERING

ACCOMMODATION TYPES

---

We have single and double rooms, as well as a dorm house. The camp offers a chillout area with pool, outside showers and sunbeds - a perfect place to relax after a long day surfing. Hot water, fast Wi-Fi and reliable solar-electricity is provided. Being located in one of the highest properties on the island, there are sea views from everywhere in the house, perhaps the most spectacular being on the roof terrace where we enjoy the 360 degree view of all the waves surrounding Ngor. From here you can also see the stunning sunset over the Atlantic ocean at the most western point of Africa.

CATERING

---

We take pride in celebrating and encouraging people to discover the traditional food of Senegal and West Africa, which is absolutely delicious. The food is completely fresh as the kitchen team go to the local market every morning to buy ingredients for the evening meal. The fish used is caught by the local fishermen on the island, therefore it is fresh, local and sustainable!
Dinner is served every day at 20:00, involving 2 courses (starter or a dessert) and is included as standard with all accommodation.
We have specialty nights including oyster night, pizza night and taco night. Beer and snacks are also available for purchase at the surfcamp.

SURROUNDINGS / REGION

---

Characterization of surroundings/region:
The House is very peaceful and located only 50 meters from the beach and one minute walk from the mythical spot of "Ngor right" as seenin the first "The Endless Summer" movie. The surfcamp is located on the tiny island of NGor, Africa’s westernmost point just off the coast of Dakar - Senegal. Eight hundred meters long and another Eight hundred from the mainland, this spot has become a trendy place and a surfer hideaway. Home to Senegal's most famous wave, the NGor right , featured in "The Endless Summer". The island is a very peaceful and relaxed. The boat bringing you across the water is a 'pirogue' (traditional fishing boat). As soon as you step off the boat, you will feel the exotic atmosphere.

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. You can also take a boat to the mainland (Dakar) which is only 5 minutes away where you will find exciting discos and bars in best Senegal style. We promise that you will find what you are looking for...
