Overview

In southern Morocco, between the Atlantic and the desert, Dakhla is one of the great classics of kite surfing for its vast protected lagoon and its sunny trip atmosphere. The water is mostly flat to choppy depending on the tide and wind, with often shallow water over large areas, making it a very popular spot for progressing in freeride and freestyle. The thermal breeze often strengthens the wind in the afternoon, and the most cited period runs from April to October, with a peak of reliability in summer. However, it is important to keep in mind that the wind can be a bit gusty and that the lagoon can quickly become crowded when the spot is busy. To vary the pleasures, there are also more challenging areas with waves towards the ocean, like Oum Lbouer, so the area is suitable for both supervised beginners and experienced riders looking for space and consistent wind.
