The active side of the sea!
Add to my travel Notes
Surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, diving…Thanks to its exceptional conditions and its two coasts, Morocco is the dream destination for all water sports.
The country with two coasts
More than 3500km of coast on two sides, the Atlantic ocean along a long seafront to the west and the Mediterranean sea along a wide coastal strip to the north… And perfect air and wind conditions everywhere.
More surfing and windsurfing
Come to the long sandy beaches of Oualidia, Dar Bouazza, Taghazout, Agadir and Essaouira, a city where numerous international competitions take place. To the north of Safi, the surf spot of Sidi Bouzid is an international standard point-break for surfers. Regular, fast and powerful, its wave is ranked among the top 10 in the world (a maximum of four meters high for a swell which can reach two meters).
More kite-surfing
Go down even further south, to the protected Dakhla Bay. A long and perfect right-breaking wave has led surfers to rank this Foum Labouir spot just behind Hawaii. Dakhla, like Tamuda Bay in the north, is also famous for its diving. Jet-skiing is also high on the agenda in a wide variety of resorts. In terms of weather, the trade wind blows across the coast from the end of March to mid-September. The consistently mild temperature allows pleasant enjoyment of these sports throughout the year. Add to this the great diversity of coasts, water which rarely falls below 18°C in the depths of winter, and you have a paradise for water sports!
