L'Oued

L'Oued is a sheltered beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, featuring a lagoon system separated from the open ocean by a sand barrier. The spot faces west toward the Atlantic, with a shallow lagoon providing protected water conditions. The area shows significant tidal influence with visible channels and shallow zones suitable for progression. Wave heights average 1.70m, making this ideal for beginners developing their skills. The lagoon configuration offers natural protection from larger swells while maintaining enough wind corridor for kitesurfing. North winds (0°) provide the most favorable side-shore conditions. Wind reliability is relatively low at 19.9%, suggesting sessions require specific weather windows. Water temperatures average 20.4°C, requiring seasonal protection. The spot works best during tidal stages that maximize water depth in the lagoon. Multiple visible shallow banks and vegetation require careful route planning. Best suited for beginners and early-intermediate kiters practicing in controlled water with moderate wave exposure.
