What species is this? (Morocco, Essaouira coast)

I posted this here before, but it was removed (I added the location to the text but not the title).
This photo was taken 2 months ago (25 August) in the coast of Essaouira, it seems to be some species of brown algae, I suspected the genus laminaria but still not sure, since to my knowledge kelps in general prefer colder water, so it is probably from a small relic population or was transported by currents? Would love to get any feed back.
Btw, I already posted it to iNaturalist 2 months ago, but to no avail , here is my observation if you are curious: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/238875033

Do you have any more pics? Something closer or showing more detail?
