READING THE SEA…

Is it warm enough to swim at Dakar?

At 26.3°C the water is warmwarm and inviting — easy, lingering swimming weather. Sea temperature lags the seasons, so the warmest water at Dakarusually comes a month or two after the hottest air, and a cold current or a spell of offshore wind can drop it sharply within a day. This is the surface layer; it's cooler a few metres down.
