Immosuane is the longest most fun wave I have ever surfed. I have no idea how long it is but it must be over a kilometer. There are options for all abilities in Morocco. Going back as soon as I can afford it for some more of this:

I would agree it must be over 1km long, and at the right size its not just long but fast the whole way through, real leg shaker.

The inside section of Anchors is good, very hollow.

Looks like you scored!.

We had 2 good days, 3 average days and 2 wet windy blown out storm conditions. It rained so hard on the last day that everywhere flooded. The rivers (that hadn't flowed properly for 5 years) turned into the most disgusting sewers of shit and plastic bags and bottles! I have never seen the likes.

The best swell was 2.7m at 16 to 18 seconds period directly west and that translated into some amazing waves at anchors (first and second shot). Not sure how it was possible for a swell of that size to translate into a solid double overhead conditions but there you go. On that day the locals were surfing from the take off out at the point and getting off the wave just before the first set of apartments in Taghazout village. We headed north to Immosuanne for more manageable stuff!

At this point I must put in a plug for Surf-Maroc. Their surf camp was excellent. Great selection of surf-tech boards to choose from ( I had a Robert August 9'6" for the smaller days and a 9' McTavish Original for the other small days smile.gif ), food was absolutely amazing but a bit more expensive than the town. Great vibe in the place with surfers of all abilities and from all over. Local guides (Imad and Nadir) were great craic and knew their stuff. Nadir is the king of Anchors and is supposedly always getting into scrapes out there with people he doesn’t recognise. It was a bit of an expensive way to surf in Morocco but for those that want to head to Morocco for a hassle free holiday I would highly recommend it.

Hope this was of some help to those thinking about heading out there.

We wondered what it would be like if it rained enough to flush the creeks out longboardirl/puke.gif , must have been really foul.

The whole hill side just turned into a muddy shitty river. Nasty

We arrived there on the saturday evening... the roads were covered in thick brown muck with the consistancy of slurry. All the local wadis had water flowing in them. There was a lot of rubbish washed down as a result, mainly plastic bottles and black plastic bags. The sea water quality seemed ok by Monday and was noticable cleaner by the wednesday.

We did OK for waves while we were there but it was dropping off through the week until it was virtually flat by Friday evening. Best session was a solid 3' inside Panoramas on the Monday. By Thursday there wasnt much swell around and Boilers was a zoo, about 60-70 in the water all hassling over the wave. Gave that one a miss.

We had a good trip all in all, and planning to return as soon as.

There were a couple of showers, nothing too heavy, the last 2 days I was there, (20th and 21st of Dec.) and the crap that was washed into the water would make you sick. Got a quick session in at Banana beach just before I headed to the airport... Was just paddling back out after catching a wave and remember seeing the biggest wave of the day about to break in front of me, with plastic bags and what looked like a ton of tobacco in the lip. longboardirl/puke.gif So much for a clean up set. I'll post pics when I can.

Alcohol from the supermarket is cheap, longboardirl/rastaman2.gif is cheap, so really it comes down to whether you are renting a car, how many presents you have to get, and how generous you feel to people begging.

Have a good one. longboardirl/puke.gif biggrin.gif
