In October, Morocco enters its true surf season. The first winter swells bring consistent waves that can reach up to 3 meters. Air temperatures remain mild (around 25°C), while water temperatures range between 19°C and 22°C. Due to decreased tourist traffic, the spots are quieter, so the conditions are ideal for peaceful sessions.
