December runs the north shore at full size. The North Atlantic is in winter, the swell arrives regularly, and Ngor is doing what it is known for.
Two things change from November. The water keeps falling towards the March floor and most people move into a 3/2 during the month. And the visitors arrive: Dakar is a short flight from Europe and the holidays bring the year's second crowd, which on a peninsula with four documented breaks is noticeable.
The wind is the recurring caveat and it does not go away because the swell is good. Even now, the best days are the ones a forecast picked out three days earlier.
