About This Spot
Taguinza is a beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, facing west into open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with scattered rocky outcrops and a nearshore kelp forest visible in the satellite imagery. The shallow, rocky inshore zone requires careful navigation, particularly during lower water levels. The 1.70m average wave height and rough water conditions indicate consistent swell exposure, though the low wind reliability (21.8%) means conditions are often marginal. North (0°) winds provide ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the west-facing coastline. With low average wind speeds (8.4 knots), this spot suits kiters comfortable in light-to-moderate conditions and those willing to wait for favorable wind windows. The cool water temperature (19.9°C) requires appropriate wetsuit protection. Recommended for beginner to early-intermediate kiters due to the protected beach break setup and accessible entry conditions, but requires awareness of shallow hazards and patience with wind inconsistency.
