About This Spot
Aglou Plage is a beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, characterized by a northwest-facing sandy beach fronted by rocky reef formations and cliff structures. The spot experiences consistent Atlantic swell but limited wind reliability (3.6%), with an average wind speed of only 6.1 knots—marginal for kitesurfing. The presence of visible rocky outcrops and shallow reef zones requires careful navigation and ground knowledge. Moderate wave heights around 1.78m suggest this is primarily a beginner to early-intermediate spot when conditions align. The coastal development immediately inland indicates access may be restricted. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore flow. The rough water type and visible current patterns suggest this spot is most suitable for kiters with basic water awareness and local knowledge. Strong tidal influences and wave interactions with the rocky features create variable conditions. Wind consistency remains the primary limiting factor for regular kitesurfing activity.
Hazards & Safety
Rocky outcrops and reef formations visible in nearshore zone
Strong currents indicated by water discoloration patterns
Shallow areas between rocky structures
Wave reflection from cliff faces causing confused sea state
Residential development proximity limiting access flexibility
