We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at Mirleft. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical early July.
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
The best week for surf at Mirleft is the week of 16 November (score 3/5) with low crowds.
Moderate swell providing fun waves for a session. Short-period wind swell: expect weak, crumbly faces. Slight cross-shore ripple. Nothing to worry about.
Heads up: rip risk elevated, and jellyfish: high.

The air here is 22% cleaner than the average comparison city right now.
Somewhat cleaner than a typical city. Air quality is unlikely to affect most people.
Not a pollutant. Ozone is naturally higher at altitude and near the coast, and lower in cities where traffic exhaust breaks it down. High readings here typically indicate clean air. Can cause short-term airway irritation during intense exercise but is not linked to the long-term health risks of particulate pollution.
Additive health score: each pollutant contributes points relative to its WHO 2021 guideline and long-term health impact (PM2.5 9, NO₂ 5, O₃ 3, PM10 2, SO₂ 1 at WHO limits). Data via Open-Meteo. City markers show live readings. Red line marks the WHO guideline. Updated 03:00

Mirleft is a small coastal town in southern Morocco with several beach and reef breaks along its dramatic cliff-lined coast. The beaches face west into the Atlantic and receive consistent swell. The setting is stunning: red and orange cliffs, arched rock formations, and golden sand. Less developed than Taghazout, it offers a quieter Moroccan surf experience with warm water and reliable waves.
Picks up westerly Atlantic swell. A south-easterly wind is offshore. Works on all tides. Consistent year-round but best October through March. The 3-6ft range is ideal. Multiple beaches offer variety depending on swell size and direction. The south-facing beaches work on larger south-westerly swells.
Several beaches within walking or short driving distance of town. Each has different characteristics. The main beach (Plage Mirleft) has a sandy bottom with gentle waves. Other beaches have reef influence creating more defined peaks.
Some rocky sections depending on which beach you choose. Urchins on the reef. The cliffs can make access tricky at some spots. Generally safe sandy bottom at the main beach. Remote location with limited medical facilities.
Park in town and walk to the various beaches (5-15 minutes). Some require scrambling down cliff paths. Basic facilities in town (guesthouses, restaurants). Growing surf tourism infrastructure.
Quiet. Mirleft is less known than Taghazout and the scattered breaks distribute people. You might share a beach with 5-10 people at most. Very peaceful for a consistent surf destination.
Mirleft offers a less touristy Moroccan surf experience. The dramatic coastline has numerous undiscovered spots accessible by foot. Accommodation is basic but friendly. The cliff-top restaurants with ocean views are special. Combine with nearby Sidi Ifni for more variety.

View Best Time to Go →Combining historical conditions with school holiday crowd pressure to find the sweet spot.
The timing score combines two signals: historical conditions quality (how good the skiing or surfing typically is in a given week, based on 5 years of weather data) and crowd pressure (how many of this destination's feeder markets have school holidays that week).
Crowd pressure is weighted by each feeder country's share of visitors. If 40% of a resort's visitors come from France and France is on holiday, that contributes 0.40 to the crowd pressure score. Crowds can reduce the timing score by up to 35%, ensuring conditions still matter most.
Scores: 5 = great conditions with low crowds (the sweet spot). 4 = great conditions with moderate crowds, or good conditions with low crowds. 3 = average. 2 = below average conditions or very crowded. 1 = poor conditions or peak holiday chaos.
