The Dakhla Speed Spot is a specific section of the lagoon, just south of the main area, known for its butter-flat water at low tide with offshore wind. The most exposed and windiest part of the lagoon.
A freestyle and speed paradise — the water is oily smooth at low tide, perfect for speed runs, flat water tricks, and Woo records. At higher tide, small wind waves form.
Popular for downwinder departures towards Dune Blanche (13 km).
The spot works year-round: 30 rideable days a month on average, at 24 °C. It peaks in March, with 358 hours of usable wind.

When the spot works, wind sits mostly between 22 and 30 knots — 63% of rideable hours. That is the most versatile range, where most kites work. The coldest month is March, at 22 °C. The wettest month is December, with 5 mm. Bar height is the month's rideable days; the split shows how its wind hours break down by strength.
