Located in Northern Morocco, Skhirat is a decent little jetty break that throws out some good left-handers when a swell hits. The waves here are not always easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters (328 feet) over a sand bottom. There is also a fun beach break in the area.
What are the best surf conditions for Skhirat?
Skhirat gets good between chest-high and overhead. We recommend riding a longboard if small and a shortboard as the size picks up. This break is good for all levels of surfer. The surf here usually has something to ride (5/10) and will generally be uncrowded (3/10). The best winds are from the South. The best swells are from the Northwest. Works best on a mid to low tide.
We recommend wearing a springsuit in the summers when water temps rise to 21°C (69.8°F). In the winters, a 3/2 is best as water temps drop to 18°C (64.4°F). See our temperature chart below for more data on this.
