23 Beach

📍 Local Knowledge

23 Beach in Rabat to Casablanca is an exposed beach break that offers its most consistent surfing opportunities during the autumn and winter months, though it can provide dependable waves at any time of the year. It performs best when a strong northwest swell combines with offshore winds from the southeast. Most of the waves arrive in the form of clean Atlantic groundswells, producing a variety of left and right-hand peaks across the sandy shoreline that can become quite punchy and hollow when a solid swell is running. The surf is notably versatile and remains rideable at all stages of the tide, though it often provides the cleanest faces on a rising mid-tide. While it is a reliable spot along this stretch of coast, it can sometimes become crowded when the conditions are optimal. Surfers should exercise caution and stay alert for hazards such as strong lateral currents, dangerous rips, and rather poor water quality. The best conditions reported for surf at 23 Beach occur when a Northwest swell combines with an offshore wind direction from the Southeast.
