Dakhla Foum Lambouir

Dakhla Foum Lambouir is a lagoon-style kitesurfing spot located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, featuring a protected water body separated from the open ocean by a natural barrier. The lagoon offers relatively sheltered conditions compared to the exposed coast, with rough-chop water typical of Atlantic upwelling zones. The spot benefits from consistent winds averaging 12.9 knots with 58.5% reliability. Coastline orientation is northwest-facing, making easterly winds ideal for side-shore conditions. The lagoon's shallow, protected waters suit beginner to intermediate riders seeking calmer conditions than open-ocean breaks. Visible agricultural development and residential areas indicate moderate human activity. The spot's main appeal is its accessibility and forgiving water state for skill development. Key considerations include monitoring water depth during certain tidal stages, avoiding shallow channels, and being aware of local infrastructure. Best wind conditions occur during northeasterly to easterly wind patterns. This location represents a transition spot suitable for progression from flat-water training toward exposure to coastal conditions.
