Doura is one of the surf spots located near Rabat-Salé, known for its varying conditions. While often compared to Kirra in Morocco, the recent changes to the area have altered how the waves break. This spot might not deliver the best barrels every day, but it offers a decent surf experience, especially when conditions are right. The crowd levels can be a bit high, so be prepared to share the waves.
The surf here works best with swells coming from the west or north, handling sizes as small as 2 feet (about 0.6 meters). You’ll usually find Doura providing right-hand waves, but they can be fast and hollow, especially in bigger swells. Low tide is the best time to hit the water, and the ideal wind direction is southeast. This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers looking to catch some decent waves without going too extreme.
Doura breaks over sand, which can give it a softer feel compared to rocky spots. Keep in mind that consistency can be low to medium, and rips are a common factor, so make sure you’re comfortable with your abilities before heading out. The experience can vary, so it's worth checking conditions frequently if you're planning to surf here.
