Can a beginner surf Cro-Cro?

Yes. Cro-Cro breaks over sand, so a fall costs a mouthful of water rather than skin, and it is one of the spots a first week here is actually built around. Once it is bigger than shoulder-high, Agadir Beach is the softer option.

What board should I bring to Cro-Cro?

For Cro-Cro, bring a longboard or a mini-mal, because the wave is more about trim than about turns. We hire boards in the village, so the right one can be waiting instead of you paying an airline to carry yours.

What time of year does Cro-Cro work best?

Cro-Cro has something rideable most of the year, and the WSW–NW swell of winter simply makes it bigger rather than switching it on.

How far is Cro-Cro from Taghazout village?

Cro-Cro is about 20 minutes by road from Taghazout village. We drive this coast road daily and run the transfer from Agadir Al Massira airport (AGA) ourselves, so the car can be waiting with room for a board.

How cold is the water at Cro-Cro, and what wetsuit do I need?

The sea off Cro-Cro runs about 17–19 °C from December to March and 21–23 °C in late summer. That is the figure for this whole stretch of coast rather than a reading taken at the spot, so plan on a 4/3 mm wetsuit in winter and a 3/2 mm or a springsuit in September. Today's measured sea temperature is in the live board above this guide.

Spot guide

Cro-Cro surf guide: the wave, the tide and who it suits

What Cro-Cro actually does with a swell, which tide it needs, and the surfer it suits. Checked against published surf references and our own sessions on 20 September 2026.

Wave type: learning beach
Level: Beginner / progression
Best for: Room, coaching control and first-session comfort
Access: Beginner beach move · 20 min
Ideal wave height: 0.4–1.4 m
Ideal swell period: 7–13 s
Offshore wind: 45°–135°
Wind to avoid: 235°–330°

What kind of wave is Cro-Cro?

Cro-Cro is a beach break with shifting peaks over sand. Cro-Cro needs a swell from WSW–NW (245°–320°) at 0.4–1.4 m and 7–13 s to switch on. The wind decides as much as the swell: Cro-Cro holds its shape from the NE–SE sector (45°–135°) and goes ragged once it swings onshore. Cro-Cro takes its name from the rocks along its beach, which look like crocodile heads from the water.

What tide does Cro-Cro work on?

Cro-Cro wants a pushing tide, best from rising to high. On a low tide Cro-Cro tends to dump on the sand and close out; the wave opens up again once the water starts pushing. You get into Cro-Cro off the beach and walk out.

Who should surf Cro-Cro, and how busy is it?

Cro-Cro suits beginners and intermediates. Cro-Cro fills up when the forecast is obvious and empties again when it is not. At Cro-Cro the things to watch are the rock heads on the beach itself. If Cro-Cro is too big, too crowded or simply wrong on the day, Devil’s Rock is the nearest useful swap, and a guided session from our own desk puts a local in the water with you rather than sending you out cold.
