Surf spot guide · South Morocco, Morocco
Ultra-consistent Moroccan beachbreak at a river mouth north of Taghazout - the fallback when the points go flat.
Tamri is a sand-bottom beachbreak at the mouth of the Oued Tamri, a seasonal river that drains banana plantations into the Atlantic roughly 60 kilometres north of Agadir. The break throws medium-paced A-frame peaks shifting along the sand, with well-covered shoulders rather than hollow pits and a slopey, fat-sloppy character on smaller days. Facing an open swell window from south-west through north, it picks up almost any pulse on the Moroccan central coast, which is why surfers from the Taghazout area drive up here when the reefs at Anchor Point and Boilers go flat. The trade-off is wind: anything with north in it blows straight onshore and shreds the faces, so the spot fires with a light south-easterly offshore at first light. Roadside parking sits just above the beach off the Essaouira road, and the paddle out is a straightforward beach entry. Crowds stay manageable on shoulder days but cluster on the cleanest sand-bar peak.
Exposed sandbanks that reshape with each swell, lefts and rights for every level.

Banana-plantation beachbreak backup
Drive the coastal road north from Taghazout toward Essaouira and pull off at the Tamri river mouth. Parking is roadside only, just above the beach. From there it is a short walk down the sand to the water with a straightforward beach paddle-out.
