The Ultimate Guide to Surfing in Aourir
Everything you need to know about the best surf spots, seasons, and local tips for an unforgettable surf trip in Morocco.
Aourir is a relaxed coastal town on Morocco's Atlantic surf line. With Banana Point nearby, gentle beginner waves in the area, and stronger point breaks a short drive north, it is a comfortable base for surfers of many levels.
When to Go
The best time to surf in Aourir is between October and April. During these months, the North Atlantic swells hit the Moroccan coast, creating perfect waves. The water temperature ranges from 16°C to 20°C, so a 3/2mm wetsuit is usually sufficient.
Top Surf Spots
Anchor Point
The most famous wave in Morocco. It's a fast, hollow right-hand point break that works best on a large northwest swell. Not for beginners!
Hash Point
A short drive north along the coast. It's a fun, mellow right-hander on the right day and useful for intermediate surfers.
Panorama
A long, sweeping right-hand point break with a sandy bottom. It's perfect for beginners and longboarders when the swell is small.
Local Tips
- Respect the locals: Always be polite in the water and respect the local lineup rules.
- Stay hydrated: The Moroccan sun can be intense, even in winter.
- Try the food: Don't leave without trying a traditional Moroccan tagine after a long day of surfing.
