Spot Overview & Description
Nestled at the mouth of a river that breathes life into the surrounding banana plantations, Tamri is a dependable beachbreak that often shines when its more celebrated neighbor, Taghazout, goes quiet. Consistency is its calling card, but timing is everything—north winds can quickly turn the lineup onshore and mushy, so patience and a keen eye on the forecast are essential to score its best. This stretch of sand works best on southwest and north swells, handling anything from 1 foot and up. The waves peel over a sandy bottom, offering both lefts and rights that cater primarily to intermediate surfers. Low to mid tide is your window, especially when a gentle southeast breeze feathers the faces. But don't let the mellow vibe fool you—when the swell pushes past 4 feet, strong rip currents can sweep the lineup. Know your limits and stay alert, as conditions can shift from playful to challenging in a heartbeat. For those looking to mix up a Moroccan surf trip, Tamri is a worthy detour that rewards the prepared.
Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (October - March)
The North Atlantic comes alive during the autumn and winter months, sending consistent, powerful groundswells from the W to NNW quadrants directly into Tamri's NW-facing beach. Average swell heights hover around 2.1 to 2.3m with long periods averaging 12-13 seconds, producing pumping, firing waves that can easily reach XL proportions when the strongest storms align. The trade-off is a healthy dose of onshore wind from the N-NW, but the percentage of ideal offshore flow (W, WSW, SW, SSW) peaks during these months—especially in December, January, and November when it exceeds 44%. This is the window for top-tier surf, with clean, lined-up faces and light offshore conditions often accompanying high-pressure setups over the Sahara. If you can only plan one trip, aim for November through February.
Fair Surf Season (April & September)
These transitional months offer a mixed bag. April sees the last of the winter power—average swell height remains a solid 2.1m but the period drops to 10.8s and ideal wind percentages fall sharply to 19%. The dominant swell direction shifts strongly towards NNW, which is still a good angle for Tamri, but the wind becomes increasingly dominated by N-NW flow, making clean conditions rarer. September brings a slight rebound in period (10.0s) after the summer lull, but swell heights average just 1.6m. Ideal wind percentages climb to 18%, offering occasional windows of fun, rippable waves on the smaller side. These months are for the dedicated surfer willing to pick their days.
Low Surf Season (May - August)
From May through August, Tamri experiences its lowest surf activity. The North Atlantic storm track shifts north, resulting in average swell heights between 1.6 and 1.9m and periods as low as 7.6 to 9.3 seconds—generally small, groveling conditions. The wind pattern is dominated by strong N to NNW flow, which blows directly onshore at Tamri, ruining wave quality. Ideal offshore wind (from the SW sector) occurs only 8-13% of the time. Swell direction is overwhelmingly from the NNW (over 90% of total swell in July and August), which, while technically in the optimal range, is accompanied by onshore winds that chop up the waves. This is the quiet season, best suited for beginners or those seeking a beach holiday rather than serious surf.
