El Farasa surf guide

El Farasa is located at the east end of the Maamoura resort town. It's pretty much a beachbreak and is known for its shifting waves. The spot can present some strong currents, so it's wise to pay attention to the conditions before diving in.

This beachbreak really works when the swell is coming from the NorthWest or West. It can handle swell sizes starting at about 1 foot (0.3 meters) and offers both left and right waves. The best time to catch the surf here is during low, mid, or high tide, especially when there’s a Southeast wind blowing. It's a good spot for intermediate surfers looking for a challenge.

Since the waves break over sand, it can be a decent choice for those wanting a mix of conditions. Just keep in mind that the shifting nature of the break means you'll need to stay alert and adapt as the surf changes. It's not a place for beginners, so make sure you have some experience under your belt before you paddle out.
