Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Located at the southern tip of the Dakhla peninsula, where the Atlantic meets the Dakhla lagoon, it offers an exceptionally high-quality long right in a desert setting. A point break over a sandy bottom, offering rides of up to 700m on some days.
October to April is ideal. NW swells fire regularly, with less rain than Europe.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Dakhla Lassarga usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Dakhla Lassarga is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Dakhla Lassarga comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Dakhla Lassarga, you can also check conditions at Foum Lbouir, La Restinga, Las Americas. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
