Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
A small surf village south of Sidi Ifni, with several exposed and accessible beach breaks and point breaks. Many spots to explore, such as Imin Turga, Aftas or Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah.
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.
Mirleft 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.
Mirleft 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 Mirleft comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Mirleft, you can also check conditions at Sidi Ifni, Agadir, Tamraght. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
