Surfing Bouznika Point
A right point in Rabat coast, Morocco, for intermediate surfers.
Bouznika Point is between Casablanca and Rabat, at the end of a bay with a long beach. It needs a west swell, and when it's on, it's one of the best waves on this stretch of coast.
There are rocks and sea urchins, so booties help. It gets busy with surfers from both cities at weekends.
It needs a west swell and works best from October to March. The town of Bouznika is between Casablanca and Rabat, and easy to reach by train or motorway. On smaller days, the beach next to the point is good for lessons.
