A long, mellow right-hand point break wrapping around Imsouane's fishing harbour, often called one of the longest rides in Morocco. Best at low to mid tide, it's gentle and forgiving compared to the village's other wave, La Cathédrale, making it a favourite for beginners and longboarders looking to log serious wave time.
