Rider tips
- Check the live wind at the Dar Bouazza or Casablanca stations before you drive out; there is no dependable Jack Beach season to plan around.
- Expect a surf beach first and a kite spot second: go out only when the direction and the beach traffic allow it.
- Leave extra downwind room in cross-on wind and waves.
- Pack 7-8 m2 for a winter south front and 9-12 m2 for a spring NE day, borrowing the nearby Dar Bouazza sizing until someone confirms Jack Beach's own.
- Ask the Dar Bouazza schools or the regulars on the sand before your first launch.
