Surfing Tamri: The Complete Guide

Tamri is a sandy-bottom beach break located in Souss-Massa, Morocco, offering both lefts and rights along the continent's diverse coastline. Tamri is Morocco's quieter choice—a consistent beach and rivermouth break between Agadir and Essaouira that offers an escape from the crowds that have descended on Taghazout. Rated as intermediate difficulty with lightly crowded conditions, this beach break is a worthy destination for surfers looking beyond the usual suspects.

Best Conditions

Swell Direction: The ideal swell direction is NW (305°), with workable conditions from W to NNW (270°–340°). Swells outside this window will either miss the break or produce disorganized waves.

Swell Size: Tamri needs a minimum of 0.8m / 3ft to start working and handles swells up to 2.5m / 8ft before conditions deteriorate.

Swell Period: Look for a swell period of at least 8 seconds, with 12 seconds being the sweet spot. Longer periods deliver more organized, powerful waves with better shape.

Wind: True offshore here blows from the ENE (60°). The full offshore range spans NNE to E (20°–100°). Glassy conditions under 4km/h from any direction also produce excellent surf. Plan for early morning dawn patrol sessions.

Tide: This spot works best at low to mid tide. Optimal tide range is 0.3m–1.8m.

When to Go

Primary Season: The prime window at Tamri runs October, November, December, January, February, March (Oct–Mar). This is when swell consistency and direction align most reliably with the break.

Secondary Season: A secondary window opens April, September (Apr–Sep). While not as consistent, patient surfers can still score quality sessions during this period.

Season Notes: Winter swells. Less crowded than Taghazout.

Water Temperature: Expect water temperatures around 19°C / 66°F. Bring a 3/2mm wetsuit — 4/3mm in winter months.
