How this is modelled
Each figure is the share of days with three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.
Wind on the beach
side-onshore.
- The beach north of the cape runs north-west to south-east with the ocean to the south-west, so the dry-season flow comes in along the shore and pushes riders south toward the cape and the border beaches.
- The north-east morning phase is the offshore one and wants more care.
What the spot record warns about
- Occasional shorebreak/medium wavesWavebreakers/shorebreak on the open Atlantic beach.
- Remote location, several hours from DakarRemote Casamance location: travel advisories in 2026 still recommend main roads and daylight travel in Casamance because of crime and landmine risk outside the main tourist corridor.
- Near the Guinea-Bissau border - carry ID
- Morning NE wind can be slightly offshore; wait for the reported afternoon sea-breeze/side-on phase if you are not fully confident.
