Moulay Bousselham is a laid-back surf spot located in a friendly fishing village that’s slowly turning into a summer destination. The area is known for its beautiful lagoon outflow, which contributes to a unique vibe. While it can get busy during the summer months, the overall atmosphere remains pretty relaxed, especially when winter rolls around. Many surfers visiting Morocco appreciate this spot as a break from the more popular and crowded right-hand pointbreaks.
The waves at Moulay Bousselham offer a mix of lefts and rights, with the beachbreaks mostly peaking through the mid to high tide. The best swell direction is from the west, but it can also handle swells from the north and northwest. Conditions are suitable for waves ranging from about 1 ft (0.3 m) to 8 ft (2.4 m) and are often best for intermediate surfers. The sandy bottom makes for an easy paddling experience. With east winds being preferable, you can expect clean waves, especially during autumn when the swells are peaky and consistent.
Accessing the beach is straightforward; just drive to the village and park near the break. The local vibe is mellow, with crowds being bigger in summer and pretty chill in winter. Rips can be present, so it's good to stay alert while surfing. Whether you’re on a shortboard or bodyboard, Moulay Bousselham offers a refreshing change of pace in the Moroccan surf scene.
