Agadir Bay is a protected coastal bay in southwestern Morocco facing westward into the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach backed by extensive urban and resort development, with multiple artificial breakwaters and harbor structures creating defined zones. The bay offers relatively sheltered conditions compared to exposed Atlantic breaks, with consistently small waves (1.22m average) suitable for progression rather than wave-focused riding.
The location functions primarily as a beginner-friendly bay with controlled water conditions. Best wind conditions arrive from the north (0°), providing side-shore wind parallel to the coast. However, the area experiences very low wind reliability at only 1.6%, making consistent sessions unpredictable. Water temperatures average 20.5°C year-round, requiring seasonal wetsuit consideration.
The spot suits beginners and early-intermediate kiters seeking calm, shallow-water conditions for skill development. Key considerations include navigating around resort infrastructure, respecting designated boat traffic areas, avoiding shallow zones near shore, and understanding that wind sessions will be infrequent. The bay's protected nature makes it safer than open ocean alternatives but limits wave quality and wind consistency.
