Hazards

SANDBAR Sand-based beach/point break — check the point end for the more organized wave on bigger swell.
RIP Mistral swell builds a rip along the point — use it to get out, don't fight it on bigger days.
LOCALS Shares the same dedicated local surf community as the wider Aïn Taya stretch.
OFFSHORE WIND Best with S/SE wind blowing offshore, same window as Deca Plage nearby.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid tide · rising
Peak season Oct–Apr · NW/N Mistral swell
Swell key NW/N Mistral swell · Sandy beach/point, more organized at the point end
Level Beginner–intermediate · Sandy · Established local crew
Dawn patrol Check both ends of Aïn Taya on the same swell — Surcouf's point can be cleaner than the open beach at Deca Plage.
