yop - Hi, i've been leaving and surfing in Mohamedia (5 km from oubaha) for more than 15 years. Oubaha is a small and irregular wave that do not work properly more than 3 times a year. The rest of the time, the wave is very short and is especialy apreciated by beginners.

Low Tide-High Tide Spots - My mom leaves on this beach so I know the spot pretty well, there are actually two spots. At low tide, you can surf the spot on the left, with waves going from right to left, at high tide, there's a spot on the right with waves going the other way. During big swell, there's even a spot in the middle of the beach. I wouldn't call this a spot for beginners (especially at low tide as it is pretty shallow water, with sharp rocks full of sea urchins. It can be crowded in the summer week-ends and the local don't always appreciate visitors (what's new, I have not found a spot in the world where the locals aren't territorial, just ignore them they'll get used to you,and if you're good, they'll accept you pretty quickly.)
