Sidi Kaouki

Tides are not abnormal. Generally flat, however does catch the Atlantic swell. Between the months of October to April, Atlantic storms produce large swells which offer excellent wave conditions all the way up and down the coast from Oualidia to Agadir. The waves tend to be bigger than in the bay of Essaouira, with more shore break. It is quite an open bay, and there are no security boats in the water. Long and wide beach (couple of kilometers), soft Sahara sand. No rocks (apart from next to the river mouth) or pebbles and more than enough space for landing and launching. Heaps of space and impossible to get crowded. Usually side to sideoffhsore winds. The wind pattern tends to be similar to that of the Canary Islands. The summer trade winds are accelerated by strong thermal action particularly during the spring and early summer when temperatures inland can be very hot. Generally the wind increases throughout the morning and by mid afternoon can often be blowing a solid 6-7 Bft. Between the months of October to April, Atlantic storms cause a little less consistent and predictable wind. Heavy trade winds - esp. in summer. It also offers the same North/Northeasterly sideshore wind as Essaouira, but slightly stronger. Water temp in summer +- 20°C. Air 20-30°C. Water is cool, a full summer suit is necessary.
