Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
A powerful, exposed reef break that produces a main right and sometimes a left on big swells. Hollower, faster and far less crowded than The Bay.
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.
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.
Imsouane Cathedral 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.
Imsouane Cathedral 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 Imsouane Cathedral comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Imsouane Cathedral, you can also check conditions at Imsouane Bay, Boilers, Mysteries. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
