Autumn (September - November):Consistent Swells & Warm Waters
Waves: The Atlantic starts to awaken, delivering consistent ground swells. You’ll find a good mix of gentle waves for beginners and more challenging conditions for intermediates. Advanced surfers will start to see the bigger, more powerful waves appearing at spots further north.
Weather: Warm, sunny days with comfortable temperatures, typically in the mid-20s °C (mid-70s °F). The water temperature remains pleasant.
Crowds: Moderate. It’s popular, but generally less crowded than the peak winter months.
Ideal For: All levels, but particularly fantastic for intermediate surfers looking for progression and beginners who want reliable, manageable waves.
Winter (December - February): Swell Season & Legendary Waves
Waves: This is when the famous point breaks like Anchor Point and Killer Point come alive, offering long, powerful rides. While these are for experienced surfers, Tamraght’s sheltered beach breaks still provide consistent and manageable waves for beginners and intermediates even on bigger days. Our instructors expertly choose the right spot for your level daily.
Weather: Mild and sunny days, typically around 20°C (68°F). Evenings can be cool, so pack layers. The water is cooler, but a 3/2mm or 4/3mm wetsuit is usually sufficient.
Crowds: This is peak season, so expect more people in the water, especially at popular spots.
Ideal For: Advanced surfers seeking big swells, and beginners/intermediates who don’t mind a slightly busier lineup in exchange for reliable, smaller waves at sheltered spots.
Spring (March - May): Mellow Waves & Perfect Weather
Waves: The big winter swells ease off, giving way to more forgiving and consistent waves. Beach breaks are abundant, perfect for beginners to find their feet and for intermediates to refine their technique without intense pressure.
Weather: Glorious sunshine and warm temperatures, often reaching into the high 20s °C (low 80s °F). The water warms up considerably.
Crowds: Generally lower than winter, offering more space in the lineup.
Ideal For: Beginners seeking uncrowded, gentle waves for rapid progression, and intermediates looking for consistent, fun waves to practice.
Summer (June - August): Smaller Swells & Relaxed Vibes
Waves: Smaller, softer swells are typical, creating perfect conditions for absolute beginners and those who enjoy a super relaxed pace. The long, sandy beaches offer plenty of space.
Weather: Hot and sunny, with temperatures often in the low to mid-30s °C (high 80s to low 90s °F). The water is warm enough for bikinis or boardshorts, though a shorty wetsuit might be preferred for sun protection and buoyancy.
Crowds: The peak of European summer holidays, but often the surf crowds are smaller due to less powerful waves.
Ideal For: First-time surfers, families with children, and anyone looking for a chilled-out beach holiday with gentle waves and lots of sunshine.
