Wingfoil Center
powered by KBC World
Wing foiler’s paradise
Right in the beating heart of Dakhla’s legendary wind playground, you’ll discover a wingfoil center created with pure passion for the sport — directly on the spot at the New Spirit Dakhla Hotel.
With steady winds, wide-open space, and ideal conditions for all levels, this is where unforgettable sessions and true wingfoil freedom come to life.
Dakhla Lagoon
This lagoon offers everything a rider could wish for: expansive, protected, flat water, sandy beaches, and a 40 × 4 km playground sculpted by the Atlantic peninsula — an absolute dream for anyone searching for truly perfect conditions.
Wingfoil Spot
The private sandy beach provides ideal wind direction, a perfectly aligned setup, and consistently reliable depth. At the heart of the spot, the tides reveal a stunning shallow-water area that’s perfect for riding.
Without a doubt: the very best spot on the Dakhla Lagoon.

Wind in Dakhla
Dakhla is one of the most wind-reliable destinations in the world, blessed with powerful winds sweeping across the lagoon almost all year round.
The long peninsula forms a natural wind funnel that intensifies the steady trade winds, while the cool Canary Current adds a strong thermal boost — reinforcing the wind on nearly a daily basis.
High & Low Tide
The spot is tide-dependent and reveals a unique character at every water level. At high tide, the shallow, sheltered water in front of the center is perfect for beginners.
When the tide goes out, some of the standing area may dry up, but you’ll always find deeper water just a little farther out — ideal for wingfoiling.
Whatever the tide, great conditions are always waiting.
Beach Staff
The experienced beach team is always nearby to help with equipment setup, answer any questions, and assist on the beach. They ensure safe launches and landings at all times — and if anything unexpected happens, the rescue boat will reach you within minutes.
