Dakhla weather in February

Forum posters describe Dakhla as notably cooler than its far-southern desert latitude would suggest, thanks to the cold Canary Current running along this stretch of Atlantic coast, with slightly higher humidity from the ocean's proximity but genuinely comfortable conditions overall. Posters describing a late April/early May visit specifically report no real humidity issues, describing balmy weather with deep blue skies and daytime highs typically 26-32C. Posters generally rate this as ideal for outdoor activities like kitesurfing, the destination's main draw, without the risk of excessive heat exhaustion that might come with a true desert-interior location this far south. Posters generally rate April as close to ideal for Dakhla, cooled by the coastal current well below what you'd expect from the map alone.

Forum posters consistently prefer October over September here, since September can still bring oppressively hot spells (posters cite temperatures as high as 40C), while October settles into a more comfortable, reliable range. Dakhla is repeatedly named by posters as the best kitesurfing spot in Morocco, with a wide choice of schools and - a real practical plus - mobile operations that can relocate around the lagoon to chase the best wind and tidal conditions on a given day. Posters do note wind, while generally reliable, isn't guaranteed every single day - one visitor reported an unlucky ten-day lull blamed on unusual El Nino-driven conditions - so building in some flexibility around a kitesurfing-focused trip is sensible even in the area's strongest months.
