About This Spot
Tafadna is a coastal beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast facing west toward open ocean. The spot features a long sandy beach backed by shallow lagoon systems and vegetation, creating a protected environment with moderate wave exposure. The beach transitions from a defined shoreline into shallow tidal flats and lagoon areas inland. Wave heights average 1.58m with rough water conditions typical of Atlantic coastal dynamics. Wind reliability is notably low at 17.8%, suggesting inconsistent wind patterns with average speeds of 7.7 knots. Side-shore winds from the north would provide optimal conditions for kitesurfing. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate riders due to relatively small waves and sandy bottom composition, though shallow areas require careful navigation. Best sessions occur during favorable wind windows, though consistency cannot be guaranteed. Water temperature averages 20.5°C, requiring seasonal thermal protection. Kiters should account for tidal variations affecting water depth, particularly in lagoon zones, and monitor shallow sandbars that shift seasonally.
