About This Spot
Taghazout is a beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast facing west toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with scattered rock formations and reef patches, backed by a developed resort complex and surrounding scrubland. Conditions are relatively modest, with average waves around 1.16m and low wind reliability at 3%, suggesting this is a location where kitesurfing opportunities are seasonal and dependent on Atlantic swells and seasonal wind patterns. The coastline provides west-facing exposure to Atlantic fetch. Side-shore winds from the north (0°) would be ideal for this westward-facing beach. The spot suits beginners due to manageable wave heights and relatively protected conditions, though the shallow intertidal zone and visible rock hazards require careful navigation. Water temperature averages 21.7°C, providing comfortable conditions year-round. The resort infrastructure indicates this is an established tourism destination with facilities nearby. Kiters should be aware of potential boat traffic near the resort and exercise caution with submerged rocks during low tide.
