Dahkla

Dakhla lagoon is a shallow, protected water body separated from the Atlantic by a sandy peninsula. The lagoon orientation runs roughly north-south with water access from the west. This sheltered lagoon environment provides a beginner-friendly setting with natural wind channeling between land masses. The shallow water and protected nature suit progression riders and those seeking forgiving conditions. Best winds come from the east or southeast, providing side-shore conditions while avoiding offshore drift toward open ocean. The visible tidal flats and sandbars require awareness of tide cycles and shallow water navigation. Rough-chop conditions typical of lagoons demand flotation and impact gear. Wind reliability at 60% is moderate, making morning sessions more predictable. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected water with manageable wave heights (0.93m average). Strong currents during tidal exchange warrant local knowledge before first visits.
