Bouznika

Bouznika is a developed coastal spot on Morocco's Atlantic shore, featuring a sandy beach with an extensive lagoon system separated from the open ocean. The coastline faces northeast with water bodies oriented perpendicular to the main beach. The spot is characterized by shallow lagoon waters with visible sandbars and tidal channels, creating a protected but complex water environment. The main beach break offers relatively calm conditions due to lagoon protection, making it accessible for beginners learning fundamentals. However, the dense residential development and presence of shallow areas with rocks require careful navigation. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The low wind reliability (1.1%) and modest average wind speed (5.3 knots) indicate this is a light-wind location requiring good technique and potentially larger kites. Water temperature averages 19.1°C, necessitating wetsuits. The spot suits progression-level riders seeking protected waters rather than strong wind enthusiasts. Access may be complicated by development density.
