Moulay

Waves with potentially imposing shore-break. Flat sections between sets, waves can become quite large - have had sessions that were 4-5 meter faces. Tide - big impact, difference can be almost 70m. Low tide, smaller quicker waves, high tide, bigger waves. Incoming tide, biggest waves. Careful on spot selection, since in certain areas there can be flat reef bed right near shore (not dangerous, unless you have to jump one meter from shoreline). Moulay is really a good wave spot but it's very difficult: to begin, prefer Essaouira. Watch out when walking over the reef plates for deeper holes. In summer the waves are not as good as during the rest of the year. Ideal. Absolutely no one around for miles, so don't go alone. Huge and wide, rocks are far apart for miles and are highly visible. Preferable go to the North of Moulay. The wind pattern tends to be similar to that of the Canary Islands. The summer trade winds are accelerated by strong thermal action particularly during the spring and early summer when temperatures inland can be very hot. Generally the wind increases throughout the morning and by mid afternoon can often be blowing a solid 6-7 Bft. Between the months of October to April, Atlantic storms produce large swells which offer excellent wave conditions all the way up and down the coast from Oualidia to Agadir. The winds, however, are a little less consistent and predictable in direction although it should usually be possible to either surf or kitesurf on most days during the winter at or within a 25km radius of Essaouira. Heavy trade winds - esp in summer. Steady wind. Temperatures range between 18°C in January to 25°C in August. The daytime average temperature in Marrakech in June, July and August can often be 12-18°C higher than Essaouira. Water, always on the cool side, around 16°C. 3mm long wetsuit required. Water: Smallwave, Mediumwave, Bigwave. Features: Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
