About this spot
Imsouane is a magical fishing village about 45 minutes north of Taghazout and home to Africa's longest wave. The Bay is a 900-meter right-hander in a protected bay - mellow, consistent, and great for all levels including longboarders. Cathedral is the more powerful outside reef break with hollower waves for advanced surfers. The village itself is full of charm, from colorful boats to fresh fish in the harbor.
