- Hi Everyone,
I´ve been to Dakhla for 5 days in February 2011 and this one is the only surf spot I have visited during this time. There wasn´t much swell coming in (therefore I´m not sure if the "very consistent" tag is justified) and the wave was breaking close to the rocks. Maybe different if more swell is coming in.
There was a bar 200 meters from the spot that rents out one or two boards in bad condition.
