Best Surf Season (October - March)
The Moroccan coastline finally switches on as the North Atlantic roars to life. With the Azores High retreating south and the polar-front jet stream cranking across the Atlantic, a conveyor belt of extratropical cyclones is aimed at the coast of Africa. Average swell heights at Spiders climb into the 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) range with periods consistently in the 11-13s bracket, and a good chunk of that energy arrives from the NW/NNW with occasional WNW/W pulses - exactly the kind of long-period groundswell that works its way into this WSW-facing spot. Offshore winds from the E/ENE/ESE become much more frequent, pushing ideal-wind percentages up to 50-60 percent. This is the time to plan your strike.
