Today's Surf Conditions at Taghazout
Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (October - March)
The Moroccan coastline around Taghazout is a study in Atlantic contrasts. From October through March, the North Atlantic storm track reaches full intensity and long-period groundswell becomes a regular commodity. Average wave heights hover around 1.8-2.2m (6-7.2ft) with periods of 11.6-13.3s - a powerful, pitching swell that holds shape on the sandy points. This is also when the offshore wind percentage peaks at 52-62%, as high pressure over the Iberian Peninsula and the Azores steers NE-E flow while the thermal low over the Sahara pulls air from the east. The result: clean, rippable surf on the best days, with the occasional WNW/W groundswell wrapping into the bay to perfection.
