Mid tide
Casablanca's home break and one of Morocco's best waves: a powerful right-hand reef/point break ("Dracula") over a shallow rock ledge at the south end of Dar Bouazza, plus a string of beach and reef peaks north along the coast. It holds size and barrels on a big northwest swell, and is the closest quality surf to a major city, so it gets crowded with Casablanca locals on weekends. Shallow rock and urchins make booties a good idea.
