Imsouane (The Bay) surf guide
Surf: General: A consistent, long, user-friendly (mellow, actually) right-hand point, "The Bay" at Imsouane is the prototypical beginner/surf school spot in Morocco. That being said, it is also a blast on a log or fish, even for experienced surfers (just try to get there before the surf schools). Arguably the longest wave in Morocco. There are also left and right reefs, beachbreaks, and points around the corner, on the "Cathedral" side.
Tides: Low to mid
Size: Knee-high to overhead.
Wind: NE
Swell: N, NW, W, SW

Spot Rating: Epic if you are a beginner, good if you are a longboarder, fun if you are on a fish.
Access: Follow the road along the cliff from the small town to the bay. Access is obvious.
