Where is Salt House Morocco located?
▲

What is the surf and weather like? When is the best time to visit?
▲

Surfing conditions are excellent year-round along the Moroccan coast, with the best surf in autumn and winter. Summer temperatures average around 27 °C (sometimes above 36 °C), with warm water suitable for a thin wetsuit or even just boardshorts. Winter brings cooler air (around 20 °C) and colder water, so a wetsuit is recommended unless you’re especially tough. Month by month: best time to surf in Morocco
