The Surf Spots of Imsouane
| Spot | Type | Level | Best Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Bay | Very long, mellow right-hand wave | Beginner → Intermediate | October to April |
| Cathedral | Short, fast right-hand wave | Intermediate → Advanced | October to April |
The Bay is recognisable by its waves that break parallel to the beach, often for a long time, allowing for multiple manoeuvres on a single wave. It's an ideal spot for learning and improving.
