About This Spot
Oued Charrat is a beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast near a river mouth that creates a natural lagoon system. The spot features sandy beaches with adjacent shallow water areas sheltered by sand formations. A river channel flows through the middle of the bay, creating distinct currents and water movement patterns. The beach faces northwest toward open ocean with moderate wave exposure, while inland areas are bordered by agricultural land and growing residential development. Wind conditions are marginal (5.3 knots average) and unreliable (1.1% reliability), suggesting this spot works best during seasonal wind events. The shallow lagoon environment and river dynamics create variable conditions that suit beginners during lighter wind periods, though water movement from the river requires awareness. Wave heights average 1.55m, providing gentle conditions. Kiters should be cautious of river currents, shallow banks, and rocky features visible along the shoreline. Best wind direction is from the northeast to maintain side-shore conditions across the beach. The spot's proximity to residential areas means checking local regulations before sessions.
