Dakar, a vibrant capital city, offers a unique blend of cultures, history, and coastal landscapes, ideal for learning to surf all year round. The peninsula is home to several beaches perfect for sports: from the golden sands of Yoff to the volcanic cove of Les Mamelles, via the legendary Ngor beach, each spot has its own special atmosphere. In the morning, fishermen bring their canoes back to shore to the sound of the waves, the markets come to life, and the smell of the sea fills the air. For beginners, the Virage site near Yoff, renowned for its gentle, regular waves, offers a rock-free environment that is ideal for learning to surf. Other sites such as Almadies and Ngor offer sessions on reef breaks or more sheltered beaches, where the swell and wind direction vary depending on the season.
The outing begins with a welcome on the beach, where equipment is provided and participants learn the basics: balancing on the board, taking their first steps in the foam, and following safety rules, all under the supervision of patient and knowledgeable instructors. In Dakar, surfing is also an excuse to meet people; the group shares advice and laughter, enjoys gourmet breaks by the sea, then sets off to explore the surrounding neighborhoods: a visit to the Mamelles lighthouse, a walk to the island of Ngor, or a tour of the craft market. The cosmopolitan and energetic city reveals its secrets as the sessions progress.
In the afternoon, the beaches fill up with joggers, families, artists, beach volleyball players, and music lovers: a lively setting where every surfer can find their place. Many local clubs and schools offer complementary activities; paddleboarding, yoga, skateboarding lessons, and canoeing are available alongside surfing on the coastline or the beaches in the center.
