El Jadida kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Morocco · Casablanca-Settat
Overview
El Jadida (Mazagan) is an old Portuguese fortified city ~60 km south of Casablanca. The main urban beach faces NE and catches strong N/NE wind with full onshore conditions. Wide sandy beach, easy launch, but can get crowded with bystanders and soccer players. Significant waves in winter swells (2–3m). Known to local kiters from the Casablanca-Safi corridor.
Caution: onshore wind can make getting out challenging. A past fatality occurred from a failed launch near the hotel wall.
