Safi's ?Garden? remained semi-secret for a long time, with those in the know understandably protective of the long, ultra-fast, throaty barrels that fire down the point north of Safi. Unfortunately, it is very fickle, only breaking in big swells at low tide. There are more rights in the area under similar conditions.
The Moroccan government opened the Surf Park Sidi Bouzide in 2005. Crowds are guaranteed but the localism has calmed down a bit. Safi's big factories and port could affect the areas water quality.

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.
