First surfed in 1964 when a board reached the nearby US military base, this is the cradle of surfing in Morocco. The powerful Moone righthander breaking along the south jetty is the most reliable spot, sheltered from northerlies and able to handle size. There's also surf in Chlihat, past the north jetty, and even in the rivermouth when it's big enough to get Charatane's left going. The town beachbreaks are a good summer bet.
Sometimes crowded plus strong rips. Some rivermouth pollution after rains.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
