Biba / Coast Atlantic / Morocco

Situated in South West Morocco is the beach of Biba or Bhibah which is about 20 km away from Moulay. It is a great spot for intermediate and above surfers of all types as its two lagoons offer completely different conditions to suit everyone. The season is from April to October although it is posible to surf all year round here.

The beach consists of two lagoons. The one to the left which faces the sea is the largest and has big waves rolling off the Atlantic coming at it. The one to the right has a very small fishing village to its right and has much calmer, flatter water. The sand is soft and white and there are no obstacles or hazards here. The beach is large with plenty of space and virtually empty all year round. To get here drive past Moulay and you wil see “Bhibah” signed on the left, down a pebble road.

The winds blow predominantly from northerly directions with the best directions for this spot being north, north west and north northwest. The windiest months are June to August. The wind is generally N-NW sideshore but because there are two lagoons, depending on where you ride, you can have from sideoffshore to sideonshore. The wind normally blows through the fishing village, but since it is tiny with only a 4-5 houses, it isn't gusty. The wind is weaker here than at Moulay (about half the strength) which makes this a great spot for when the wind is too strong for kiting at Moulay. The wind does get gustier, however, during the day but stabilizes around 6 pm. The water is clean with big waves which are sometimes spoilt by chop. There is a shor break starting around 100 meters from the shore which is quite easy to get through.

There is nothing here apart from a place to park. For accommodation, bars, restaurants and shops, you need to head into Moulay. There is very limited nightlife in Moulay.

It is pretty remote here so make sure you don't come alone.
