About Dakhla

Dakhla is a year-round destination for wind and wave riding, with two main seasons offering distinct conditions:

  • Warm Season (March to October):
    Strong, steady winds with warm air and water temperatures, ideal for long freestyle and freeride sessions in the lagoon. Perfect for progression and all-day riding in consistent conditions.
