When to surf KM11

KM11 lights up with a clean northwest swell and offshore east-to-southeast wind. Mid tide usually handles the line-up best; low tide can shallow up the reef and rocks. Winter (Nov–Mar) is the most consistent season; summer smaller waves are friendlier for beginners and progression.

Water temperature

Atlantic water off KM11 sits around 16–18 °C in winter (4/3 mm wetsuit recommended) and warms to 20–23 °C in late summer (3/2 mm or springsuit). The upwelling off the Agadir coast can drop temperatures quickly after multiple days of strong north wind.

Tide and wind read

Read the wind direction before the tide: offshore or cross-shore is surfable, direct onshore turns KM11 messy. Tide swings are moderate (~1–2 m range); rising tide generally cleans up beach breaks, falling tide favours point breaks like Anchor.
