the wind is rarely strong enough for windsurfing or kitesurfing. Due to the shape of Bay and reef and wave this is not a windsurfing / kiting spot. Plus: surfers have absolute priority

|
waves:
|
best season is from Oktober to March, when You get bigger swells from the northwest and west and the winds are very favourable. Only very occasionally some groundswells during offseason.
The wave is a right reefbreak that can get very long and sometimes hollow enough for tubes. Classic wave!

|
|
best wind direction for surfing is east, north and northeast are o.k.
|
|
|
low to mid tide is best, high tide only wotks on really big swells

shortboards with enough size for bigger waves in winter, 6´8´´ and bigger

All that You need in nearby towns. Moroccan cuisine is fantastic!
|
|
party:
|
there is some cafes, no alcohol and no girls to party with like everywhere in Morocco; more westerly style nightlife in not so far away Agadir (if You really need it desperately)
