About Mirleft
Mirleft features a series of striking, cliff-backed beach and reef breaks situated on the southern Atlantic coastline of Morocco. The bathymetry is a dynamic mixture of mobile silica sandbanks interspersed with rugged sandstone and limestone rock shelves. This combination creates highly variable wave profiles depending on the state of the tide and recent littoral drift. The beaches capture robust north-westerly groundswells seamlessly. To produce clean faces, an easterly offshore wind, common to the region, is required to counteract the raw marine conditions. The waves here are characteristically punchy, offering steep take-offs and fast, wally sections that occasionally barrel over the shallower sandbars. Due to the mix of sand and rock, the strong lateral currents, and the relatively steep nature of the drops, Mirleft is best suited for intermediate surfers. It requires the ability to quickly read changing line-ups and execute rapid manoeuvres while navigating the hidden reef sections at lower tides.

How often is this page updated?
Current conditions refresh every 6 hours when the cron runs. Hourly data updates every 30 minutes. The 7-day forecast, luck factor, and packing notes are all pre-computed at the same time.
What is the luck factor?
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 late April.
How is 'best session' picked?
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Where does the data come from?
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
Does the score capture local knowledge?
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.
