Mirleft

Mirleft is a beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast facing northwest toward the open ocean. The spot features a rocky, irregular shoreline with multiple promontories and reef formations interspersed with sandy beach areas. The coastline's complex geometry creates localized current patterns and shelter in certain zones. With average waves of 1.84m and strong Atlantic exposure, conditions are relatively consistent year-round, though the low wind reliability of 4% suggests this is primarily a swell-dependent spot rather than a wind-driven one. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (side-shore), providing good kite angles without excessive turbulence from the rocky features. The water is notably rough, indicating exposed conditions and potentially strong currents. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable navigating around obstacles and variable conditions. Critical considerations include identifying clear channels between rocks, understanding local current flows around headlands, and avoiding the shallow reef areas during low tide. The exposed nature requires good wave reading and awareness of swell direction changes.
