Our house has been open since January 1st 2022, and is new, modern, comfortable, and super functional.
It’s located by a beautiful little beach called “The Third Beach” and is on a cliff that overlooks the famous Ngor Right wave.
It is the perfect place to be able to enjoy all the waves Dakar has to offer.
The waves of Les Almadies or Le Virage are 5 minutes by car, Ouakam is 10 minutes, and Ngor Right and Left are in our backyard!
The house offers garden level accommodation. The room is 100m² and it includes two bedrooms and a mini dormitory. The living area/dining room is pleasant and bright and is a common space for our guests to enjoy.
We offer a “Bed and Breakfast” style stay and will prepare breakfast for you every morning. For all other meals, there are restaurants on the island and restaurants near the various surf spots on the mainland. You can choose from various cuisines for lunch and/or dinner.
If you would like to rent all the rooms for the same group (max 9 people), please contact us to organise your stay.
There is a small grocery store that has the basics and there are also several restaurants, all about 3 minutes from the house.
Caution : Senegal Surf Trip will provide sheets but we do not provide bathroom or beach towels.
What to do
The house is surrounded by a garden of approximately 300 m² that is welcoming, peaceful, and tranquil. You can relax, read or rest between sessions. You can also enjoy your lunch outside at our outdoor table.
There is also a beautiful terrace upstairs with an amazing view of the sea. You will be able to enjoy magnificent sunsets with an unobstructed view. About twenty meters from the house, you can admire the legendary spot of Ngor Right from the top of the cliff!
We also offers Yoga, meditation, and pilates classes with Yama. Yama is a surfer and will adapt her lesson to your needs.
She is able to accommodate classes when you want; before or after a session, during a rest day, early in the morning, or at the magic hour of sunset, when the surf house is bathed in golden light.

We welcome other ocean enthusiasts and want to share our passion for surfing, happiness, and Senegalese hospitality.

Yama as well shares a passion for the ocean and nature.
She is originally from the village of Ngor which is an artisanal fishing village directly across the bay. Yama grew up lulled by the sound of the waves and with the sea as her playground.
Surfer, yoga and pilates teacher, Yama loves to teach and share her passions.
Yama graduated from the French Federation of Green Yoga.
Spots & trip
DAKAR
The city is located in a magical spot-the westernmost peninsula of the African continent where you can find waves for everyone; at all levels, all swell directions, and for all your surfing tastes from beach breaks, point breaks, and reef breaks.
At the foot of the Cliffs of Mamelles and the Oukam Mosque, is barreling Ouakam. This amazing wave offers advanced and expert surfers endless barrels and an incredible ambiance of local fishermen and Senegal’s picturesque pirogues.
The Almadies neighborhood offers several reef breaks for intermediate to expert surfers. The Almadies breaks consist of Secret Spot, Vivier Right, Vivier Left, and Club Med, and other breaks depending on the swell.
Directly in front of Ngor Right Surf House, the famous Ngor Right (of Endless Summer fame!) offers a long, right-hand reef break. The inside peek of this beautiful and powerful wave is a dream for advanced and expert surfers. The shoulder peak is great for intermediate surfers as well. Our skipper will take you out in the boat and will anchor in the pass at the end of the wave for your safety and security.
Ngor Left is also right around the corner from our surf house. Ngor Left is a super fun left-hand reef break but less consistent than Ngor Right.
Beginners and longboarders will love Virage Beach, located about 10 minutes from the island. Virage is a fun, spunky beach break with long right-handers and a super fun African beach vibe and one of Dakar’s first zero-waste restaurants.
For those who want to enjoy West African culture, you can explore the villages and beaches on the outskirts of Dakar. You can vibe on unspoiled and uncrowded waves and beaches all along the coast that is known for its majestic baobabs, warm friendly smiles, and the vibrant colors of the African coast. You can surf all day and then enjoy a barbecue on the beach at one of the many local spots along the coast.
Senegal Surf Trip was founded 20 years ago and we have surfed with intermediate, advanced, and even pros.
We are exceptionally equipped to make sure your surf trip goes smoothly, from boat trips to surf gear to have the best instructors and/or surf guides ensuring you get the best waves.
The Senegal Surf Trip team can guide you with their knowledge of the spots and the waves ensuring you will be able to take advantage of the swell while staying safe and enjoying the cool vibe of the Senegalese surf scene.
With 25 years of surf experience in Senegal, your trip will exceed your expectations.
