Imsouane
Point breakAll levels
Morocco's longest right: at The Bay you can link hundreds of metres.
The season runs from October to March, when North Atlantic swells arrive clean and the points work with an easterly wind. In summer there are small waves for learning and more wind. The climate is mild all year and the water is 17–18 °C in winter and 21–22 °C in summer: a 3/2 is usually enough. Respect local customs, buy from village shops and leave nothing valuable in the car.
