Oued Aliane

Oued Aliane is a beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast where a river estuary meets the ocean. The beach faces northeast with a river running parallel to the shore creating a natural left boundary. The spot features a sandy beach with moderate wave exposure and is protected from extreme ocean swell by its geographic position. Conditions are generally mild with small average waves (1.05m) and light winds averaging 8.5 knots. The river mouth introduces variable current patterns that affect water conditions throughout the day. Best conditions occur with easterly to southeasterly winds that provide side-shore or slightly onshore flow. This spot suits beginners and early intermediates due to manageable wave heights and relatively forgiving conditions. Kiters should monitor river discharge levels as flood events can increase current strength and turbidity. The shallow lagoon-like characteristics near shore provide learning-friendly depths, though awareness of the river's presence and occasional rocky hazards is essential. Low wind reliability means sessions may be infrequent.
