Safi
Safi, excellent spot de tubes. Fonctionne à marée basse. Nécessite une longue et puissante houle.
A 2h20 de Marrakech, Safi est lâun des meilleurs spots de surf au monde selon Tom Carroll, surfeur star des annĂ©es 80. On nây va pas en premier pour la qualitĂ© de lâeau (qui peut ĂȘtre assez sale par moments, en raison de la proximitĂ© avec le port) mais plutĂŽt pour le long tube de Rass Lafaa, puissant et rapide. Cette cĂ©lĂšbre vague ne se rĂ©veille quâen gros swell Ă marĂ©e basse et reste surfĂ©e par les meilleurs surfeurs du monde. Faites attention, elle peut ĂȘtre capricieuse et dangereuse. Nombreuses sont les planches qui sây sont brisĂ©es. Ce spot est un point break droite rĂ©servĂ© aux experts lors des grosses houles dâhiver, qui atteignent 2-5 m dans les meilleurs conditions.
