Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Exposed to open sea with waves and stronger conditions
Cap Rhir is a south-southwest facing coastal spot on Morocco's Atlantic coast, characterized by rocky formations and exposed open ocean conditions. The coastline features substantial reef and rock structures that create dynamic water conditions typical of Atlantic-facing Moroccan breaks. The spot experiences moderate Atlantic swell with average wave heights of 1.79m, suitable for intermediate riders. Wind reliability is relatively low at 6.6%, suggesting seasonal or inconsistent wind patterns. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (approximately 120°) that provide side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The rough water texture and visible currents indicate this spot demands solid wave knowledge and awareness of rocky obstacles. The immediate rocky shoreline creates hazards during entry and exit, requiring careful tide and swell management. Water temperature averaging 21.5°C is moderately cool. This spot suits intermediate kiters with ocean experience who can navigate reef areas and manage variable conditions. Timing around tide cycles is essential to avoid shallow rocky zones.
