Surfing Sidi Bouzid
A beach break in Oualidia & El Jadida, Morocco, for beginner and intermediate surfers.
Sidi Bouzid is a beach and point a few kilometres south of El Jadida. It works best on a rising tide and gets busy when it's on.
There are rocks around the point, and the local surfers surf it a lot, so be respectful. The beach end is easier for beginners.
It works best on a rising tide and a north-west swell, from October to March. El Jadida, a few minutes north, has a historic Portuguese fortress and plenty of places to stay.
