Overview

Edit

By far the best Kitesurf spot in Algeria. It is the windiest place in Algeria with steady winds from East in spring, summer and autumn. And then from West winds mainly in winter.

Best season: Mar – Oct

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!

Wind

Heads up: this is a partly thermal spot: on sunny days a thermal adds to the wind, so it's usually stronger than the averages below show. The windy days include part of our modelled thermal days, as some of them turn a light day into a windy one or even bring sufficient wind. The average wind speeds don't include the thermal.
