14th km.

14th km. (Morocco, South) is a well-known surf spot on Morocco’s southern Atlantic coast, often referenced by its distance marker rather than a formal beach name.

Quick description

• Wave type: Mostly point/reef-style setup with long, clean rides when conditions line up.
• Best swell: Typically picks up north to northwest swell.
• Wind: Works best in light offshore or light cross-offshore winds, usually from the land side.
• Skill level: Generally intermediate to advanced, depending on size and crowd.
• Power: Can be fast and hollow on bigger swells, but also offers longer, more playful walls on medium days.

What it’s like

• Morocco’s south coast is famous for consistent Atlantic swell, and spots like 14th km. can deliver clean, lined-up waves with a desert coastline vibe.
• On the right day, the wave can run for a long distance, making it good for cutbacks, speed generation, and long rides.
• Because the area can be exposed, conditions may change quickly with tide, swell direction, and wind.

Conditions to watch

• Tide: Often tide-sensitive; some banks/reefs work better at mid to mid-low tide.
• Crowds: Can get busy during good swell windows, especially in peak season.
• Hazards: Rocks/reef, strong current, and powerful sets may be present.

Best time to surf

• Autumn to spring is usually the most reliable period for quality waves in Morocco’s south.
• Summer can be smaller, but still surfable depending on swell activity.
