Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
A well-known but remote left north of Dakhla, powerful on a big NW swell. High-quality waves when the conditions come together.
October to April is ideal. NW swells fire regularly, with less rain than Europe.
For experts only. Powerful waves, strong currents or technical bottom. Ask locally first.
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.
Foum Lbouir 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.
Foum Lbouir is rather recommended for advanced 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 Foum Lbouir comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Foum Lbouir, you can also check conditions at Dakhla Lassarga, La Restinga, Las Americas. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
