The wind
The wind on this coast blows mostly from the north-west. On average it is fairly steady through the year, a little stronger in March and April and lightest in October and November. On a windy day the open sea is rougher, so your captain may keep closer to the marina, shorten the trip or change the swimming stop.
Season by season
- Spring (March to May): the sea is still cool, about 17 to 22 °C. Pleasant for a few hours on deck; cool for a long swim.
- Summer (June to August): the sea warms from about 25 to 29 °C. This is the busy season on the Sahel, so send your request early.
- Autumn (September to November): the sea stays warm in September and October, about 26 to 28 °C, and the coast is quieter after the summer.
- Winter (December to February): the sea is about 17 to 20 °C and most rain falls. Ask in your request whether the operator sails.
