Surf spots
Morocco is a surfing paradise with mostly right waves, but in Sidi Ifni, they are lucky enough to have not only a great and famous right wave, called “La Droite” (right in French), but also several extraordinary left waves.
In Sidi Ifni, you can enjoy good waves and breaks but also a friendly and relaxed atmosphere both in and out of the water the whole year round. Even in high season, the point breaks are uncrowded and the locals are friendly.
The main wave is a long right on Ifni Beach, available to surfers at all levels, just a few meters away from the surf camp. Even though it is a reef break, it is not a dangerous wave at all and it works at both high and low tides.
Following the same beach to the south, there are a couple more lefts with mostly sandy bottom, almost always deserted despite their quality. This makes them a paradise for all goofy surfers. The last wave of the beach breaks is next to the old Spanish aerial tramway. It is a magnificent left that will remind you of a Balinese tube in the right conditions.
And, there is still another left, south of Ifni’s harbor. Thanks to the protection offered by the piers, it is the only wave of the area that works even with big swells. It is a really long wave of extraordinary quality, with a mixed bottom - sandy with rocks. And because of its location, it is an ideal place for beginners to learn surfing as well.
The magic beach of Legzira is just ten minutes north of Sidi Ifni. What lies there is well-known as one of the most beautiful beaches of the country, with amazing arches and impressive rocky formations. In Legzira, there are both lefts and rights on a mixed ocean floor (sand and rocks), which are also free of danger.
Ifni Surf has a house in this idyllic place, right on the beach, which will make your day-long stay on Legzira Beach a memorable and comfortable experience.
