A cool Atlantic wind lifts salt off the bay as you stand watching a line peel down Imsouane’s famous right—long, clean, and deceptively patient. The village’s Cathedral Beach is a simple arena: low cliffs, a fishing jetty, and waves that reward timing more than brute force. In two hours with a local instructor you’ll feel the repetition of pop-ups and green-face rides that have put Imsouane on surf maps.
