Wind, weather & tides
Dakhla is a real wind sensation and provides us with fantastic wind all year round! The trade winds that migrate between the Canary Islands and Cape Verde in summer and winter hit Dakhla all year round, so the wind blows constantly here on 320 days with approx. 15-22 knots. Coming from the northeast, the wind blows sideshore from the right and is further intensified by the mountains in the hinterland, as the wind is forced through them like a funnel.
The climate is pleasant, with a soothing Atlantic influence, rather dry and not too hot.
The lagoon, which is around 40 km long and 4 km wide, was formed by the Dakhla Peninsula and is connected to the Atlantic Ocean. This means that the water in the lagoon is also affected by the tides:
At high tide, you have a standing area up to 300 m wide around the lagoon.
At low tide, this strip shrinks slightly, but can still be used thanks to 1 km of windward freedom. The ground is covered in fine sand. We still recommend neoprene shoes, as there are shell fragments hidden in the sand in some places. At low tide, this area is partially dry and you only have to walk a few meters further to the water's edge.
