Dakhla Camps

Dakhla Camps is situated in a large, shallow lagoon system on Morocco's Atlantic coast facing north toward open water. The lagoon is enclosed by protective dikes and separated from the ocean by a barrier beach, creating a controlled water environment. The lagoon bottom comprises shallow sandy and muddy areas with variable depths, typically 1-3 meters. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters due to the sheltered conditions, minimal waves (1.08m average), and gentle water. The consistent wind averaging 13.2 knots provides adequate power for progression work. Best conditions occur with easterly or southeasterly winds, which are side-shore relative to the north-facing lagoon. The 60.6% wind reliability supports regular session planning. Key considerations include shallow-water body control techniques, awareness of the lagoon's protected infrastructure, and potential algae conditions. The rough-chop water state indicates wind-generated texture rather than organized swell. This environment prioritizes skill development and safety over wave riding.
