Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Located between Safi and El Jadida, with surf mainly at the mouth of the lagoon and on the neighbouring beaches, where you'll find a mix of beach breaks and reefs. Waves are often cleaner and more sheltered, thanks to the bay and the cliffs.
October to April is ideal. NW swells fire regularly, with less rain than Europe.
Ideal for starting out or longboarding. Mellow waves, little current, surf school usually nearby.
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.
Oualidia 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.
Oualidia is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at Oualidia comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Oualidia, you can also check conditions at Safi, Dar Bouazza, Essaouira. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
