Imsouane is Africa's longest wave—a right-hand point break in a sheltered Moroccan bay that produces rides of 300 meters or more when conditions align. The wave is impossibly perfect for longboarding: gentle, predictable walls that peel with metronomic precision, allowing surfers to walk the nose for what feels like forever. The fishing village setting adds authentic Moroccan atmosphere, while the growing surf tourism infrastructure provides comfortable bases. When northern swells arrive and the bay comes alive, Imsouane delivers an experience that justifies every minute of travel.
