Ngor Right is a right-handed reef break on the coast of Dakar, West Africa, Senegal. On the right day, the ideal swell window runs from W–NNW (280–330°); groundswell with periods around 9–15s gives it the most shape; the wave is comfortably workable up to roughly 10 ft on the face. Best winds are N or NE, with NW still rideable. Tide influences the wave moderately, so timing the swing helps line up the better sets. The sweet spot in our data sits between roughly 0.3 m and 1.6 m of tide height. Consistency is moderate - good days come in pulses tied to incoming swells. Expect warm, boardshort-friendly water. Crowds stay manageable outside peak swells. Logistically, it is about 25 minutes from DSS airport; a boat transfer is required. Intermediate surfers with reliable bottom turns and paddle fitness will get the most out of it. Board-wise, locals lean on shortboard.
