Field notesOpen details
Local read

Use Cathedral as the advanced alternative while keeping Imsouane Bay as the long mellow progression option.

Local expertise

Cathedral is the stronger Imsouane-side contrast to the Bay. Keep it for surfers who actively want power, not for guests expecting the mellow long ride.

Tide / wind read

Wind, rocks and crowd pressure change it quickly. Use the Bay as the fallback when the goal is progression or longboarding.

Decision shortcut

Ask whether the user wants “Imsouane Bay rhythm” or “more power”; that single question avoids bad routing.

Access & stay-location logic

Imsouane-side decision; do not confuse it with the mellow Bay or with a free Taghazout included trip.

Imsouane Bay

Imsouane Bay is the long mellow right-hand bay for slower progression, longboard rhythm and scenic surf days, but from Taghazout/Tamraght it remains a separate paid route decision.

Why it fits: Best for longboard rhythm, long rides and a slower day if the group accepts the transfer time and understands it is a separate paid mission from the south.

Dracula’s
