Imsouane Surf Guide

Surfing in Imsouane

Imsouane is a working fishing village two hours north of Taghazout, set around a horseshoe-shaped bay that catches the same Atlantic swells but bends them into something extraordinary. The Bay — also called Cathedral Point — is a long, mellow right-hander that on the right day peels for hundreds of metres along the harbour wall. It's a longboard wave at heart, and one of the best intermediate progression spots anywhere in the world. The village itself has stayed small: a handful of guesthouses, a few restaurants serving the catch from the boats out front, and a slower pace that's a different planet from Taghazout's surf-tourism bustle.
