About This Spot
Playa Lambra is a beach break located on the northwestern coast of Africa, facing northeast toward open ocean. The spot features a rocky, dissected coastline with notable reef and rock formations creating variable water conditions. White water activity is evident, indicating consistent wave action from Atlantic swell exposure. The narrow sandy beach between rocky outcrops provides a constrained launch area. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (around 315°) that provide true side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. With average wind speeds of 10.3 knots and 30% reliability, sessions require favorable wind windows. Average wave heights of 1.60m suggest small to moderate conditions. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable navigating around obstacles and reading variable bottom conditions. The rocky environment demands precise positioning and awareness of hazard locations. Water is rough and potentially cold. Launch and landing require careful site assessment, particularly around reef and rock formations. Not recommended for beginners due to hazard density and limited safe zones.
