Moulay Bousselham is a charming fishing village halfway between Tangier and Rabat, at the river mouth of the Merja Zerga natural park, Morocco's largest wetland area famous for birdwatching.
The spot offers both a large shallow flatwater lagoon and a wave spot on the ocean beach side. You get to ride among birds in a preserved natural environment. Most of the time, no other kiters in sight — just a few surfers on the ocean side.
A favourite beach break among Casablanca surfers. When trade winds blow strong enough, the long sandy beach is also good for kiting. Village mainly comes alive in summer as a beach holiday destination.
Two options: flat lagoon (shallow, sandy, freestyle/freeride) or ocean beach (waves, beach break). Lagoon requires adequate wind to be rideable. Ocean side works with stronger N/NE wind.
Open all year round
Intermediate
Lagoon: flat, shallow, sandy. Ocean: beach break waves. 17–21°C.
Moulay Bousselham village. Between Tangier and Rabat. Small town with basic accommodation and restaurants.
NE trade wind (Passat). Less consistent than southern Morocco coast — the Rabat-Casablanca corridor gets less wind due to coast orientation and Iberian peninsula sheltering. Best spring/summer. When it blows, 15–25 knots.
Lagoon is a bird sanctuary — respect the wildlife. Strong current possible at river mouth. Ocean side has waves and current. No kite infrastructure. Crowded with swimmers in summer.
