The Atlantic wind shapes the beach before you: cool, saline air, a line-up of breakers threading toward the point. Your guide collects you in Agadir or Taghazout and, after a short drive, sets you on sand warmed by the midday sun. In Tamraght the beach breaks punch up playful whitewater; in Imsouane the swell peels into a long, forgiving right that tests timing and patience.
