Imsouane is a right-handed point break on the coast of Imsouane, Morocco. On the right day, the ideal swell window runs from WNW–NNW (290–330°); groundswell with periods around 11–18s gives it the most shape; the wave is comfortably workable up to roughly 8 ft on the face. Best winds are E or SE, with N or S still rideable. It is relatively forgiving across the tide and can be ridden through most of the cycle. The sweet spot in our data sits between roughly 0.5 m and 2 m of tide height. It is one of the more consistent waves in the region, producing rideable days across much of the season. Expect mild water that may call for a spring suit. Expect a moderate crowd, especially on the best days. Logistically, it is roughly 1.8 hours from AGA airport. Confident beginners and intermediates will find rideable shoulders on the smaller, cleaner days. Board-wise, locals lean on longboard / midlength.
