Taghazout - surf spot statistics

Taghazout, Morocco, is a renowned surf destination with consistent conditions year-round, but the best months for surfing are clearly the winter and early spring period. From November through March, the spot receives reliable ground swell (77-93% frequency) with manageable wind conditions (good winds 44-54% of the time) and solid mean swell sizes (1.3-1.5m). December and January stand out as peak months, offering the highest ground swell percentages (88-93%) and the most favorable wind splits (54% good vs. 46% bad), making them prime for clean, powerful waves. February and March remain strong, though wind conditions deteriorate slightly (48-52% good). April marks a transition, with ground swell dropping to 64% and wind quality weakening (36% good), signaling the end of the best run. From May to September, conditions decline as wind swell dominates (61-89%), swell size diminishes (1.0-1.2m), and onshore winds prevail (only 29-40% good days). October brings a resurgence, with ground swell climbing back to 69% and winds improving (48% good), making it a solid shoulder-month option. Summers (June-August) are the least favorable, with small, wind-driven swells and poor wind consistency. For advanced surfers seeking the most consistent, high-quality waves, the window from November to March is ideal, particularly December and January, when powerful ground swells and cleaner winds combine for optimal surfing.
