Assouinde Beach
Edit SpotAbout
the spot is empty most of the time. there is a local surfer who also has some boards to rent and a small surf school. virtually nobody has surfed these breaks after the war of 2002. Olivier the local surfer, can also help you out with broken boards.
strong waves all year long, watch out for small medusas that can be pretty bothering, don't leave your stuff on the beach unattended.
avoid beginning your trip or return during night hours, it can be pretty dangerous.
