02The read
Local authority
KM12 is the south Tamraght reef break — part of the same run as KM11 but responding differently to bank, tide and crowd. This KM12 guide covers the surf forecast, tide and wind windows, the rock setup, intermediate fit, and how it differs from KM11. Best for intermediates on the right tide window; read conditions and the KM11 alternative before committing.

◆ Quick local note

03Why it fits / Avoid when
Why go · when to avoid
✓
Why it fits
- A useful south-side alternative when Devil’s Rock is crowded or not quite lined up.
- Good for surfers who want a stronger session while staying close to Tamraght and Agadir.
- Pairs naturally with KM11 because both can be checked in the same coastal run.
!
Avoid when
- If the surfer cannot confidently angle, manage speed and avoid hazards.
- When the day is better served by a clear learner beach or a cleaner named point.
- If the tide and wind are making the entry/exit feel uncertain.
04Session
Board, crowd & base
🏄
Board
Shortboard, fish or midlength; choose control over holiday optimism.
👥
Crowd
Usually less symbolic than Anchor or Banana, but mixed-level traffic can still be an issue.
🏠
Base
Best from Tamraght, Agadir or a flexible coastal day.

Quick questionsOpen details
No. Treat it as an experienced-surfer option and use Crocro, Devil’s Rock, Agadir Beach or Panorama as safer alternatives.
Open the linked forecast, check wind, swell size, tide timing, crowd pressure, entry/exit and whether your stay location makes the transfer sensible.
