Surf spot guide · South Morocco, Morocco
Heavy, fast, barrelling right-hand reef shelf above Banana Point, holding sand and demanding expert paddlers.
Spiders is a heavy right-hander breaking over a sand-holding reef shelf on the Tamraght stretch of South Morocco, sitting on the cliff-side cape just north of Banana Point. The wave is fast and bowly with a wrapping power section and a critical takeoff, throwing makeable barrels in short bursts before the next section overtakes. North in the swell window opens up the wall and gives more room to set turns, while a straighter west angle steepens the close-outs. It needs mid to high tide to work properly. Once the tide drops, boils show across the shelf and rides snap shut on the inside. Lining up is straightforward from the cliff above Banana with clear visual markers on land. Surfers paddle off the shelf when entry is clean or cross the channel from Banana when the inside is washing through. The wave is regarded as one of the heaviest in the Taghazout-Tamraght cluster and runs at expert level only. Intermediates fare better at the surrounding points and beaches.
Long reef walls that hollow over sharp stone and demand the swell's full respect.
