Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Cross?
Cross is a point break in Agadir, Morocco, that mostly breaks right.
What swell works best at Cross?
Cross picks up swell from the WNW round to the NNW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the NW. It starts working at around 0.8m and handles up to about 2m, with the sweet spot around 1.3 to 1.7m. Period matters too: aim for 12s or longer, as anything under 8s tends to be weak.

What wind is offshore at Cross?
An E wind is dead offshore at Cross, and anything from the ENE round to the ESE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 11am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
