Surfing: the Atlantic Ocean ensures that Morocco receives a regular supply of good waves for the beaches on the northern coast. An ever-increasing number of surfers are visiting the country in search of perfect waves and uncrowded beaches. All of the beaches along the coastline receive swell, especially during the winter months when waves can be large and powerful. The quality tends to improve as you head farther south, away from Casablanca. |
