Imsouane (The Bay) Surf Guide
A consistent, long, mellow, righthand point, The Bay is the prototypical beginner/surf school spot in Morocco. That being said, it is also a blast on a log or fish, even for experienced surfers. Arguably the longest wave in Morocco. There are also left and right reefs, beachbreaks, and points around the corner, on the Cathedral side.
