About this spot
Dakhla Speed Spot is famous for its dead-flat water, making it a top choice for speed kiting and freestyle. Located on the eastern side of the Dakhla Peninsula, it works best during strong Northerly winds. The spot features ultra-flat water along the beach and shallow edges. Access is typically organized through local camps or guides. Facilities at the water's edge are limited, but intermediate and advanced riders make the detour anyway. Be aware of the strong offshore wind direction and tidal levels which dictate the available riding space.
