The Atlantic wind pushes a cold, steady line into Taghazout’s shoreline as Driss walks the beach, scanning sets and reading wind like a second language. Morning light throws the cliffs into relief; the lineup hums with chatter, boards point seaward, and the ocean dares you with a clean, rolling swell.
