Morocco borders the Atlantic with beaches as far as the eye can see and has some world-class kitesurfing spots. Depending on the region you can kitesurf Morocco all year around. Combining a Morocco Kitesurf holiday some touring is a great way to experience this rich, colourful and unique culture.

During your kitesurfing holiday in Morocco you will be able to discover the wide range of astounding landscapes and cities that are located in this country; the imperial city of Marrakech, situated at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, the desert town of Merzouga that lies between the impressive Erg Chebbi sand dunes and the Dades Valley that offers some of Morocco's most spectacular scenery.

Morocco boasts some of the most reliable wind conditions in the world and only a short flight from the UK or Europe makes it a very popular kitesurfing destination.

Morocco's interior is at its best in spring (March to May), when the country is lush and green, followed by autumn (September to November), when the heat of summer has eased. At other times, do not underestimate the heat in summer and the cold in the winter, particularly in the High Atlas Mountains, where snowcapped peaks persist from November to July.

The resort Essaouira is best from April to October with air temperatures between 25-30 degrees cooled by the constant Atlantic breeze.

The region of Dakhla can be visited all year around but the summer temperatures can be extreme, so the best time to travel here is from September to May.

Essaouira Kitesurf Holidays

Essaouira is a very culturally interesting place, with masses of tradition still remaining throughout the un-spoilt Morrocan charm of the town, port, and beaches.

The fascinating culture combined with the reliable strong winds make Essaouira a great windsurf holiday destination for both windsurfers and non windsurfers alike. On the water the conditions are most suitable for the more confident windsurfer as the wind is quite strong and there are waves in a many parts of the bay. Beginner and improvers are catered for but it can be that that some afternoons are too difficult at this level.

Planet offer tailor made tours in Morocco to combine the watersports with some of the cultural sites of the country. Please see our suggest tour itineraries for some examples or speak to an expert travel advisor for a personalised itinerary.

Dakhla Kitesurf Holidays

In the middle of the western Sahara, a 2 hours flight from Casablanca, is a town called Dakhla situated on a small peninsula bordering the Atlantic coast called Rio de Oro. Stretching South from the small town is a huge lagoon that we think God must have made just for Kitesurfers, Wing Foilers and Windsurfers! It is one of the most perfect spots for these sports on the planet. This stunning lagoon with an incredible year around wind, is a true Kitesurf, Wing and Windsurf paradise.

The wind stats in this area are just astounding so you can sail the whole year in Dakhla (even in December & January, the lowest wind season, it is still 60% reliable)!! The water is perfectly flat with huge shallow areas; just perfect for beginners & improvers; simply the best spot on earth to learn to kitesurf (or Wing Foil).

In recent years the accommodation options have taken a big step up, and we can now offer some quite high standard luxury stays. With these new luxury-end properties, it is also possible to travel with a non-kiting partner or family (as long as they don’t mind the remote location). We only work with the best hand-picked accommodations in Dakhla; if it is not on our website it is because it does not meet our high standards.
