La Sarga surf spot (Dakhla)
La Sarga is a right-hand point break peeling along the southern tip of the peninsula. On good days, the wave can run all the way to the fishing village, almost a kilometre. The wind mostly blows from the land, which smooths the wave.
The wave changes with the sections and the tide: some parts are gentle, others faster and hollower. That is what makes it interesting for all levels.
