Probably the best reef point in Morocco, the Bay is a paradise for longboarders of all levels. The best conditions remain in rising tide. The access to the peak is easy by crossing the harbor or by the beach, it is then enough to be carried by an interminable wave until the shore. Beginners will be happy, because the spot is safe and the waves are so long that there are three separate sections to surf. Furthermore, they will not necessarily need to go to the peak to catch a wave.
The point break, very appreciated by bodyboarders and short boarders, offers a more technical wave which sometimes, at the arrival of big winter swells, requires a more confirmed level of surfing.
The beachbreak, on the other hand, is a spot more accessible to beginners and intermediate levels, especially outside the winter period.
The Reef is Left-hand wave that breaks on a reef in front of Imsouane’s main place. It suits all levels but becomes shallow with big swells.
