Location & Setting
Located about 50 km north of Agadir, and approximately a 35–40‑minute drive north of Taghazout, Tamri Point faces a wide bay at the mouth of a banana-farmed Oued. Its coastal orientation makes it a true swell magnet — surfable even when nearby Taghazout breaks are flat.
Surf Conditions & Wave Characteristics
Wave Type: Open beach break, with both rights and the occasional left-hand bank in front of the cliffs .
Consistency: Rated 10/10 for its consistent surf year-round—the safety net break when other spots die .
Swell Direction: Thrives on NW to N‑NW swells, capturing swell better than spots further south like Anchor or Boilers .
Wind & Tide: Best with E‑SE offshore winds, especially in mornings; performs on all tides but low to mid tide often delivers clean peelers on sandbanks.
Seasonality & Consistency
Tamri boasts year-round surf, often producing waves when other spots around Taghazout are flat. It’s especially consistent in winter when the Atlantic delivers powerful swell—yet still serviceable in summer for longboarding or mellow cruisers
Skill Range & Lineup Atmosphere
All Levels Welcome: Beginners enjoy mellow rollers on smaller days; intermediates and longboarders thrive when an A-frame bank delivers longer rides. Occasional strong currents demand caution and local knowledge .
Crowds: Much less crowded than Taghazout, even during peak swell — often empty lineup stretches are possible.
Best Season & Surf Size
Prime surf season: September to February, when swells produce waist‑high to overhead waves, especially during winter.
Summer swell behaviour: Smaller waist-to‑knee-high waves, suitable for longboarding or beginners—a great learning wave in off‑season
Practical Info & Facilities
Access: Park near dune car park above the beach. You can scramble down cliffs or use sandy tracks via the oued mouth .
Amenities: Very limited facilities in Tamri village; most surfers stay in Taghazout or Agadir, using Tamri as a day-trip destination .

Insider Tips for Tamri Point
Dawn patrol wins: Early sessions deliver calm winds and cleaner lines before afternoon onshore breezes pick up.
Watch the rip: The southerly rip current can pull surfers along the coastline—paddle from windward zone for safer exit routes .
Ride choice for conditions: In summer, use fish or groveler boards. For winter power, shortboards or mid-length boards help manage bigger waves .
Local etiquette: Respect beginner lessons, fishermen, and occasional local surfers; keep the vibe friendly and chill.
Why Tamri Point Stands Out
Tamri Point is cherished by surfers for its turnkey consistency—a beach break that delivers waves virtually any day of the year. Its spacious lineups and natural setting, free from heavy commercialization, offer an authentic Atlantic surf experience. Ideal for longboarders, learners, and those wanting less crowd pressure, Tamri deserves a spot on every surf traveler’s itinerary.
