Doura Surf Guide
Surf spot guide
Doura Surf Guide
A beach town in northern Morocco, Rabat has a number of options for the visiting surfer, ranging from open beachbreaks to jetty waves fed by the river. The left-hander by the rivermouth tends to be the best and most consistent wave. Gets crowded and can be dirty from river runoff, but a reliable spot to score waves.
Ability Level
All Abilities
Numerous options for varying levels of surfers. Not your typical beginner spot, but can be a good place to practice when it's small.
Local Vibe
Doable
Definitely an established local scene.
Crowd Factor
Moderate
A shifty set of beachbreak peaks fed by a nearby rivermouth, Moulay Bousselham is a great escape option if you get tired of the endless right-hand pointbreaks and associated crowds. While the waves at Moulay Bousselham do get busy in the summer, it still retains its sleepy fishing village aesthetic and the lineup is pretty empty during winter.
