Tifnit
Tifnit is a small fishing village south of Agadir where the waves are often empty and the beach stretches for miles. The break offers fun peaks along a sandy beach, with particularly long rides at low tide. The village has maintained its traditional character, with fishermen still using the old methods. A great escape from the busier Taghazout area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Tifnit?
Tifnit is a beach break in Agadir, Morocco, with peaks that run both left and right.
What swell works best at Tifnit?
Tifnit picks up swell from the W round to the N, 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 2.5m, with the sweet spot around 1.6 to 2.1m. Period matters too: aim for 12s or longer, as anything under 8s tends to be weak.

An E wind is dead offshore at Tifnit, 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.
