About This Spot
El Jadida is a north-facing beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, featuring a sandy shoreline with moderate wave exposure and shallow nearshore waters. The spot is situated adjacent to a densely populated coastal town with significant infrastructure, which constrains available launch and riding areas. The beach offers relatively gentle conditions suitable for beginners when wind is available. Prevailing side-shore wind from the east (90°) provides the safest and most functional wind direction for kitesurfing. However, wind reliability is exceptionally low at 7.2%, making consistent sessions infrequent. Average wave heights of 1.79 meters are modest and depend on Atlantic swell availability. Water temperatures average 19.1°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking calm-water practice in light winds. Kiters should be aware of shallow sandbars, potential rip currents, and limited space due to coastal development. Summer months typically offer more stable Atlantic swells.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow nearshore waters with sandbars
Low wind reliability (7.2%) limits session frequency
Moderate wave exposure with inconsistent swell
Coastal infrastructure and built-up areas limit launch zones
Potential rip currents in beach break conditions
Small average wave height (1.79m) requires light wind
