Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
An urban surf zone in the Casablanca area gathering several spots (Jack Beach, La Bobine, Le Spot, etc.), mostly beach breaks with a few reefs and rock slabs. More exposed than the Casablanca beaches.
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.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Dar Bouazza usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Dar Bouazza 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 Dar Bouazza comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Dar Bouazza, you can also check conditions at Aïn Diab, Oualidia, Safi. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
