La Corniche - Sahara surf guide

La Corniche - Sahara is located about 100 km south of the frontier, with Laâyoune being the nearest major city at around 20 km inland. This spot features an 11 km long beach along the coast of Foum El Oued, serving as a laid-back seaside resort area. It attracts surfers looking for a relaxed environment, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the waves.

The beachbreak here mainly works best when there is a northwesterly swell. It handles swell sizes starting at about 2 ft. (0.6 m), making it suitable for beginners to get their feet wet. The waves break over a mix of rock ledge and sand, providing both lefts and rights. For the best conditions, surfers should aim for mid to high tide and look for southeast winds to reduce chop on the water.

La Corniche - Sahara is a good spot for those starting out in surfing. With a long stretch of beach and manageable waves, it offers a great opportunity for practice without feeling too overwhelming. Just be sure to check the weather and swell forecasts before heading out to make the most of your session.
