Flat to choppy water. Big shallow lagoon, waist deep. At some parts too shallow for windsurfers on low tide. Dakhla is a kiters paradise with a massive 50km lagoon that's rideable at all tide states. As well as the flat water lagoon, Dakhla boasts some amazing wave spots on the coast, so it really provides something for everyone, no matter what your favourite conditions are.
