Aroussa Bahe Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Aroussa Bahe in Tanger to Rabat is a quite exposed beach and reef break that offers its most consistent surfing opportunities during the autumn and winter months, while the summer is typically flat. 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 long, peeling right-hand peak over the rocky and sandy bottom that can become quite punchy 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 well-known spot along the Moroccan coast, the expansive nature of the break usually allows for a manageable lineup even when the conditions are optimal. Surfers should exercise caution and stay alert for hazards such as strong lateral currents and dangerous submerged rocks. The best conditions reported for surf at Aroussa Bahe occur when a Northwest swell combines with an offshore wind direction from the Southeast.
