Plage de Mehdiya

Plage de Mehdiya is a sandy beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, facing westward into open ocean with moderate fetch. The spot features a wide sandy beach with residential development immediately inland, creating a defined launch and landing area. Water conditions are generally rough with average wave heights of 1.55m, suitable for learning and early intermediate progression. The primary limiting factor is extremely low wind reliability at 2.8%, meaning consistent kitesurfing days are rare. Average wind speeds of 5.8 knots are marginal for powered flight and indicate light wind conditions are predominant. Northerly winds (0°) provide optimal side-shore conditions. This spot suits beginners due to sandy bottom and wave accessibility, but requires patience regarding wind availability. Best sessions occur during Atlantic storm systems bringing sustained Atlantic swell and wind. Water temperature averages 19.3°C, requiring seasonal wetsuit consideration. The proximity to developed areas means limited space for large turning radiuses or advanced maneuvers.
