About This Spot
Sidi R Bat is a rocky coastal break on Morocco's Atlantic shoreline facing north toward open ocean. The spot features a dramatic rocky shelf that extends from the sandy beach into deeper waters, creating significant wave action visible in the satellite imagery. The rough water texture indicates consistent swell exposure from Atlantic systems.
This is a moderately challenging spot best suited for intermediate to advanced kiters. The rocky hazards require precise positioning and good board control. Side-shore winds from the east (90°) would be ideal for launching and maintaining a safe corridor. The prevailing wind reliability is low (3.5%), suggesting this location may be undependable for consistent sessions.
Water conditions are rough with average 1.57m waves. The rocky nature of the break means limited landing areas and potential for equipment damage. Strong currents are indicated by the coastal water patterns. Best conditions occur during Atlantic swell events with moderate east or northeast wind support.
