Oubaha (Camping Mimosas), Morocco North — Surf Spot Description

Oubaha at Camping Mimosas is a north Moroccan beach-break surf spot with a relaxed, local vibe and easy access from the campsite. It’s typically a sand-bottom wave, which makes it more forgiving than reef or rock setups and suitable for a range of surfers depending on the day.

What to expect

• Wave type: Mostly beach break
• Bottom: Sand
• Break: Can produce peaky, playful waves with shifting sandbanks
• Crowds: Usually smaller and more laid-back than major nearby surf towns
• Setting: A quiet coastal area, often appreciated for its camping convenience and uncrowded feel

Best conditions

• Swell: Works best with a consistent NW/N swell typical of the Moroccan Atlantic coast
• Wind: Light offshore or cross-offshore winds are ideal
• Tide: Can vary depending on sandbanks, but mid tide is often a good starting point
• Ability level: Best for beginners to intermediate surfers on smaller, cleaner days; stronger swells can make it more powerful and less forgiving

Vibe

This is the kind of spot where you go for a simple surf-and-stay experience: camp nearby, check the conditions, and paddle out when the sandbanks line up. It’s not usually known as a world-famous heavy wave, but rather as a practical, accessible surf stop along Morocco’s northern coast.
