Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Tarfaya is a beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast facing northeast toward open ocean. The spot features a developed harbor with multiple pier structures on the southern side, a wide sandy beach, and a lagoon system. The setting combines open ocean swell exposure with protected lagoon areas. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) that provide side-shore conditions parallel to the main beach. Average wind of 11.8 knots with 49% reliability suggests variable conditions requiring flexible planning. Wave heights average 1.24m, suitable for intermediate riders. The spot requires awareness of harbor traffic, pier infrastructure, and shallow lagoon areas. Riders should stay clear of the working harbor and its associated structures. Wind reliability is moderate, making consistent sessions dependent on seasonal patterns. The beach area provides good access and recovery space. Most suitable for intermediate kiters comfortable with technical navigation around fixed obstacles.
