Ain Diab Porte 15

Ain Diab Porte 15 is a well-known surf break in Casablanca, Morocco, along the Atlantic-facing north coast.

Spot description

• Type: Beach break

• Direction: Works best with west to northwest swell
• Wind: Typically prefers east / offshore winds
• Best tide: Often better around mid to low tide, though it can vary
• Level: Beginner to intermediate depending on swell size

What to expect

• A fairly accessible city surf spot, so it can get crowded, especially on weekends and during good swell.
• The waves can be fast and hollow at times, but on smaller days they’re usually more forgiving and good for learning.
• Because it’s a beach break, sandbanks can change frequently, so the takeoff zones may shift.

Local conditions

• Hazards: Occasional strong currents, shifting sandbars, and local crowd etiquette

Best for

• Surfers looking for a convenient urban surf spot
