Your kite and surf guide in Dakhla · AI-generated answers

Hi, I'm Zéphyr! A question about Lassarga? I can check the wind for the next few days, the recommended level or the right kite size with you.

Zéphyr is an AI: information is indicative. Kitesurfing and surfing are dangerous, ask a local instructor or school.

Surfing at Lassarga

You can surf here too. For surfing, a light offshore wind grooms the waves; for kitesurfing it's dangerous. That's why the two ratings are separate.

Surf: next 3 days

Offshore wave height in metres, and swell period. Indicative.
