Meteorologist & Forecaster Tips for June

[!TIP] Loggers and Cruisers Rule June: Pack a classic single-fin longboard or a high-volume twin fin. The mellow summer swell energy in Imsouane and Taghazout is tailored for style, flow, and endless trim runs.

• Surf the Early Morning Glass-Off: Trade winds (Alizés) tend to pick up by midday. Hit the water between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM for glass-like surfaces.
• Stay Hydrated & Sun-Protected: UV levels are high in June. Use high-zinc sun protection and drink plenty of water and fresh Moroccan orange juice between sessions.
