Lassarga
Lassarga was discovered in 2015 and quickly earned a reputation as one of the best waves in the Dakhla region. The reef break produces complete, generous rights that offer multiple sections and the occasional barrel. The remote location keeps crowds minimal, and the consistent wind patterns mean it's often offshore.
