Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Yenne?

The Yenne profile favors the recorded tide range, ideally between 0.3m and 2m on the local tide chart. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Yenne?

The Yenne profile uses wind from NE (45°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 20° to 90°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Yenne?

The Yenne scoring profile favors swell from W (240° to 300°), a swell-height range of 1m to 2.5m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.

When is the best time of year to surf Yenne?

The main season at Yenne is Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr. A secondary window runs May, Sep. Winter swells. Powerful fun beach break south of Dakar.
