general information

Safi has to be one of the best-known surf spots in Morocco and holds its place well on the world stage of surfing classics. It’s a long, sometimes exceptionally long wave, which breaks with speed throwing out a powerful sucky barrel. It remained a secret closely guarded by those in the know for a while, but now it has found itself under some limelight. It only breaks at low tide and of course, needs a large, punchy swell to get it going, it'll start to break around 1-1.5metres and hold up to 5m. This makes it very fickle and you might have to play the waiting game to get it at its all time best.

It has also gained a little stigma about having some 'protective locals' but latest reports say that this is starting to get better. As always when travelling to surf, pack plenty of respect and you should have a happy and memorable surf trip for all the right reasons.
