Imessouane, the bay
Edit SpotAbout
I was there in summer, but I was told that in winter, when the different sections connect, the waves is very very very long
It's a really good wave, with a cool take off, then become faster, and could tube in the last section
Atmosphere:
Exceptional site, big cliff above the spot, you feel out of the world
Additional Info:
Only a few Locals surf but don't share waves. Be friendly, speak french and buy stuff from the local 'surf-shops'
