Foum el Oued is a surf spot located on the La Corniche stretch, about 25km from the city of Laayoune (El Aaiun), which serves as a good base for surfers. The area is known for its long beachbreaks, and while it may not be a top destination, it offers a good option for surfers looking for something different when the conditions line up. The spot can offer a decent session, but it’s important to understand what makes it tick.

This beachbreak works best with swells from the North or SouthWest. You can catch waves that break left and right over sand, making it accessible for different riding styles. It's suitable for intermediate surfers and can handle swell sizes starting from around 1ft (0.3 meters). The optimal wind direction is Southeast, and you'll find that the break works throughout low, mid, and high tides. However, keep in mind that it can still feel the shadow from the Canaries swell, so it’s good to check the conditions before heading out.

Overall, Foum el Oued is a manageable spot for surfers who know what they're doing and are willing to take a chance with the local swell. As it is part of a more extended stretch of beach, you might find some peace away from the crowded surf spots, but always keep an eye on the weather and tide conditions to make the most out of your session.
