Imsouane (The Bay) is a well-known surf spot in Morocco, famous for its mellow waves and stunning scenery. This area attracts a variety of surfers, mainly beginners and surf schools, making it a popular choice for those looking to learn or improve their skills. The easy access along the cliffs from the small town leads directly to the bay, which is hard to miss. Expect to share the waves with a good number of surfers, especially during peak times.

The Bay features a long, user-friendly right-hand point break, making it arguably the longest wave in Morocco. It typically handles swell sizes from about 2ft (0.6m) to 10ft (3m). Best conditions occur with swells coming from directions like SW, WSW, W, NW, and NNW, and the waves work well with low to mid tides. For paddling, it's pretty mellow, so beginners will find it manageable. While it's predominantly a right point break, there are also left and right reef breaks and beach breaks a little further down on the "Cathedral" side.
