The SFT Surf Foil World Tour heads to North Africa for the first-ever SFT E-Foil World Cup in Morocco, taking place at the spectacular Marchica Lagoon Resort. This historic event marks the debut of SFT competition in Morocco and introduces elite e-foil racing to one of the Mediterranean’s most scenic and promising watersports destinations. With its protected lagoon, modern waterfront development, and warm spring climate, Marchica provides the perfect natural venue for high-performance foiling competition.
A Natural Arena for E-Foil Racing
Marchica Lagoon stretches along the Mediterranean coast just minutes from Nador city and offers a rare combination of flatwater conditions and open racing space. The protected lagoon creates ideal water surfaces for e-foil competition, allowing riders to focus on speed, precision, and tactical buoy turns without the disruption of ocean chop.
The expansive lagoon also allows race organizers to design spectator-friendly courses close to shore, giving fans and visitors a clear view of the action as athletes carve tight turns and accelerate above the water’s surface.
Ideal Conditions in May
May is one of the best times of year for watersports at Marchica Resort Lagoon. Competitors and visitors can expect:
- Air temperatures: typically 22–26°C (72–79°F)
- Water temperatures: around 19–21°C (66–70°F)
- Wind is light to moderate coastal breezes
- Lagoon is calm, glassy conditions ideal for foiling
These conditions make Marchica Lagoon a reliable and comfortable venue for both athletes and spectators.
