Surf Girl – July 2019

SurfGirl Magazine 143

Surf Spots:

TAGHAZOUT: Thanks to the geology of the area there are

plenty of points and reefs here with half-a-dozen notable spots

within walking distance of the village, including Killer Point (a

long right) and Anchor Point.

TAMRHAKHT, DEVIL’S ROCK AND BANANA BEACH:

Popular spots for intermediate surfers and longboarders.

IMSOUANE: Home to two right-hand points, The Bay and

Cathedral Point. The Bay is a longboard-friendly mega-peeler

and Cathedral Point is a more exposed right-hander that works

from mid- to high-tide.

ESSAOUIRA TO TANGIERS: Along with dozens of fun

beachies, two of the top spots along this long stretch of

coastline are Dar Bouazza (a long left point just south of

Casablanca) and Bouznika (a right point between Casa’ and

Rabat). Booties are recommended.

Downtime in Morocco:

SHOP AT: The markets (also known

as souks) are buzzing hives of

colour, scent and flavour. There’s

Souk el Had in Agadir, or day trip

to Marrakesh for a variety of vibrant

options including Djemaa el-Fna for

the main square, Souk el Attarine

for spices, Mellah for fabrics and

Souk Smata for leather footwear.

VENTURE TO: Paradise Valley,

a section of the Tamraght River

valley in the Moroccan High Atlas

mountains, known for its abundance

of beautiful rock pools, small

waterfalls and palm trees.

TRY: Sandboarding and a cooking

course.
