Field notesOpen details
Use Cathedral as the advanced alternative while keeping Imsouane Bay as the long mellow progression option.
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.
Wind, rocks and crowd pressure change it quickly. Use the Bay as the fallback when the goal is progression or longboarding.
Ask whether the user wants “Imsouane Bay rhythm” or “more power”; that single question avoids bad planning.
Imsouane-side decision; do not confuse it with the mellow Bay or with a free Taghazout included trip.

Quick questionsOpen details
No. Treat it as an experienced-surfer option and use Crocro, Devil’s Rock, Agadir Beach or Panorama as safer alternatives.

1
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.

- Stay location
- Imsouane
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.
2
Tamri
Open beach mission north of Taghazout for angle changes, windy backups and exposed sandbank checks.
- Route fit
- 55%
- Forecast fit
- 49%
- Stay location
- North mission
Why it fits: Useful when Taghazout/Tamraght are wrong, the group accepts the drive, and a different swell or wind angle is needed.
3
Dracula’s
Dracula’s is a very advanced Cap Ghir / north-coast watch with sharp rocks, isolated access and high consequence; it should read as a warning page as much as a spot page.

- Forecast fit

- Stay location
- North mission
Why it fits: Only for experienced surfers who came specifically for serious waves and understand isolation, access, rocks and consequence.
