Be careful about the kids at the parking who try nabbing things from you! Realy be careful...they are also agressive... espessialy when the're with more the 5 or so. Don't pay them more than 5 Diram.
Atmosphere
If it's flat everywhere around south Morroco, head for Tamri and there'll always be at least 1m/3ft, but the spot gets a bit dangerous over 2,5-3m because of the rips that take you offshore. Also the waves are hard to get when it's bigger. You will need a bigger board.
General
Not worth going unless nothing else works. Mainly because the locals are a pain in the ass.

Sand Bar down the Far right end - When it gets bigger 2-3m the far right corner past the rocks has some sand built up in the corner. Is usally a bit cleaner as it is hidden from that cross on wind which can be found so often at tamri.
Surf it if you dont mind abit of a mission. Leave stuff on the main beach and climb or paddle around tide dependant.
Enjoy,will post some pics if i get them off my brocken hard drive.

bad beachbreak - go there only when it's totally flat (and i mean less than 3 feet!) in taghazoute, then it's maybe worth the 30min-trip to tamri. it's a mess up there, strong current and a lot of close outs. but the waves are powerful and you might get some good ones... uncrowded when we were there.
