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.

Based on historical weekly averages
Combining historical conditions with school holiday crowd pressure to find the sweet spot.
How busy each week is based on school holiday overlap from feeder markets.
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.

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 mid-June.
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.

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.
Slim pickings. Only worth it if you are gagging for a wave. Short-period chop. The waves lack any real push. Light onshore crumble taking the edge off. Conditions improving through the afternoon.
Heads up: jellyfish: high.
