Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Popular and accessible point break near Taghazout, between Aourir and Tamraght. A right-hander that fires on a solid NW swell. Works best at mid to high tide. The local fish market and relaxed village vibe make it a favourite for travellers looking for a calmer alternative to Anchor Point.
October to April is ideal. NW swells fire regularly, with less rain than Europe.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
At Banana Point, tide isn't a deciding factor: the spot stays surfable across most tide states. Focus on the swell and the wind instead.
Banana Point is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Banana Point comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Banana Point, you can also check conditions at Tamraght, Hash Point, Panoramas. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
