Morocco · Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma
35.78 | -5.80
Tangier's main urban beach, right in the middle of the city's waterfront, east of the port and Marina. When the predominant Eastern wind (Levante) blows — the same as Tarifa across the Strait — you can catch nice freeride sessions.
Avoid in summer high season as the beach gets swamped with swimmers and beachgoers. Off-season, a convenient spot if you've just arrived in Morocco through Tangier.
Tangier is the gateway to Morocco from Europe, with regular ferries from Tarifa (Spain) — just a few miles across the Strait of Gibraltar.
The season runs from February to July, peaking in June: 23 rideable days a month and 270 hours of usable wind, at 22 °C. The low point is December, at 12.7 days.
