Surf spot guide · South Morocco, Morocco
Imsouane is Morocco’s legendary right-hand point break with long, mellow rides.
Imsouane is renowned for its long right-hand point break, offering rides stretching over 500 meters on good days. The bay is sheltered and ideal for all skill levels, especially beginners and intermediates. The spot works best with a northwest swell and easterly winds, delivering clean, peeling lines. The fishing village vibe and scenic cliffs enhance the experience, but crowds can be significant during peak season. There are two main breaks: The Bay, which is mellow and long, and Cathedral, which is punchier and more powerful. Local surf schools, cafes, and amenities make it a comfortable surf destination year-round.

Go when the tide is low or pushing up (waves roll forever and feel easiest to catch and stay on), Start your paddle near the point of the break and position yourself further with the current, Walk the sand back up to the point rather than paddling back

Relaxed and friendly
Enter the water just in front of the pier and watch for fishing boats coming in and out. At higher tides you can also hop in from the other side of the pier, which saves you a long paddle and lets you avoid the wrapping point-break waves on the inside
