Dakhla Pointe d'Or

Pointe d'Or is a beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast near Dakhla, characterized by extensive sandy flats and a prominent curved jetty structure visible in the imagery. The spot faces northwest into the Atlantic, with a wide shallow water zone extending from shore. The area experiences consistent wind patterns typical of the Canary Current region, with average wind speeds of 13.2 knots and moderate reliability at 60.6%. Water conditions are rough-chop, typical for exposed Atlantic locations. The spot suits intermediate kiters who can manage shallow water launches and are comfortable with variable conditions. Best conditions occur with northeast winds that provide side-shore access along the northwest-facing coastline. The extensive sandbars and shallow flats require careful navigation during low tide, and the jetty creates localized current flows. Wave heights average 1.08m, making this spot more suitable for light wind days and progression rather than wave riding. Water temperature around 20°C requires seasonal consideration for exposure protection.
