About this spot
Dakhla Lagoon
The 40 km lagoon between the peninsula and the mainland is the reason Dakhla exists on the world kitesurfing map: flat, shallow, waist-deep water with a steady side-onshore trade wind almost every afternoon.
Local conditions
- Flat water, no waves — the wind reading matters far more than the swell here
- Water is shallow and warms faster than the open Atlantic
- Wind usually builds after 11:00 and peaks between 14:00 and 18:00
