Cap Skirring Surf Guide

Cap Skirring in Senegal is a fairly exposed beach and reef break that only works once in a while. The best wind direction is from the east northeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the west. The beach break provides left and right handers and in addition there are both left and right reef breaks. The location means that it never gets crowded.
