Hazards

Choppy Atlantic Ocean conditions with strong currents and potential rip tidesRocky outcrops and shallow reefs near the launch area requiring careful navigationInconsistent wind patterns with frequent lulls despite moderate average speedsLocal fishing activity and boat traffic in the nearshore zone

Launch notes

Launch from the sandy beach area, but watch for choppy conditions as swells roll in from the Atlantic. NW and WNW winds provide the most consistent offshore flow; avoid SE wind days when conditions become gusty and unpredictable.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the 11.7kt average wind; a mix of freestyle and wave boards works well for choppy conditions. Have a smaller 12m kite available for lighter wind days.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is suitable for April in Morocco; water temperatures range 15-17°C. Consider a hood during early morning sessions as the Atlantic can feel cold.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and their nets in the water. Share the beach respectfully with other water users and follow any local instructions from beach authorities.

Additional notes

April is the sweet spot with consistent NW winds; plan your trip around this peak season. Always check local weather forecasts as Atlantic swells can dramatically change conditions day-to-day.
