Tangier

Tangier Bay is a sheltered water body on Morocco's northern coast facing east into the Mediterranean. The spot features a sandy beach with an adjacent protected lagoon system and a functional marina with significant boat traffic. The bay's eastern orientation and natural breakwater formations create a contained environment suitable for learning. Water conditions are typically mild with modest wave formation due to the bay's protected nature. The lagoon provides shallow-water options, though depth varies considerably. Wind reliability is low at 11.5%, requiring patience for suitable conditions. Side-shore winds from the south (180°) or north (0°) are ideal for safe kitesurfing. The proximity to Tangier city and active marina means kiters must remain aware of vessel movement and navigation channels. Best suited for beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected, flat-water practice conditions. Winter months may offer slightly improved wind patterns, though overall wind consistency remains modest compared to exposed coastal locations.
