El Jadida is a surf spot located in the central part of town, often known for its busy beach scene, especially during the summer months. The main section for surfing is the beach called Deauville, which offers several peaks. The beach is generally lively, and while it has its charm, be prepared for crowds, particularly when the weather is nice.

The waves here can be quite fun for surfers with intermediate skills, especially when there’s a decent Northwest swell. You’ll get the best conditions when the swell is coming from the Northwest, but the beach can also handle swells from the West and North. The waves break over sand and can handle sizes starting from about 0.3 meters (1 foot). You can find left waves mostly, and it's best to surf during low to mid tide or high tide. For those looking for shelter from the wind, there’s some protection offered by the jetty, but it’s important to know that rips can make things challenging, so keep an eye out and stay aware of the water conditions.

When planning your surf trip, just keep in mind that the preferable wind direction is from the South. If you’re heading out during the summer, expect a busier beach with loads of other surfers and sunbathers around. Make sure you’re comfortable handling the powerful waves and any potential rips that can develop here.
