The Atlantic wind sculpts long, slow shoulders on Sidi Bouzid Beach, and the water here seems to invite first-time surfers with a steady, forgiving break. On a clear morning the surf school gathers near the shoreline: boards in a neat row, instructors scanning the horizon, and the Portuguese ramparts of El Jadida a short walk away.
