Moulay Bousselham Surf Guide

A shifty set of beachbreak peaks fed by a nearby rivermouth, Moulay Bousselham is a great escape option if you have 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.
