Spot de Biba / Bhibah

Biba / Bhibah kitesurf and wingfoil spot

Morocco · Marrakesh-Safi

31.79 | -9.58

Overview

Biba (Bhibah) is a small fishing village between Essaouira and Moulay Bouzerktoun. Below the village, a small partially standing-depth lagoon forms behind a few rocks, offering rare flat water freestyle conditions in the Essaouira region.

To the left of the lagoon there's access to open ocean. The wind is cross-onshore and blows about 2 Beaufort less than Moulay, making it a good hideaway when conditions are too strong elsewhere.

Little-known spot, mostly used by locals. No infrastructure.
