Metragaz

Metragaz is a beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast near Tangier, characterized by an extensive sandy beach backed by a shallow lagoon system. The coastline faces northwest toward the Atlantic, with the water body forming a protected lagoon separated from open ocean by sandbars. The spot benefits from moderate Atlantic swell exposure and consistent trade wind patterns. The shallow lagoon provides relatively protected conditions compared to open ocean exposure, making it suitable for beginner to intermediate kiters seeking manageable conditions. Wind reliability is moderate at 22.2% with average winds around 8.7 knots. Wave heights average 1.18m, providing small but usable swell for progression. Key considerations include monitoring tidal changes that affect water depth and channel locations, understanding local current patterns through the tidal inlet, and respecting the proximity of local infrastructure. Best conditions occur with northeast to east winds when side-shore alignment is optimal. This spot suits kiters developing their skills in relatively protected water with predictable conditions.
