GENERAL
Sidi Kaouki is a small Fishermanīs Village with only 20 houses at the beginning of the beach. During winter you find a perfect beach break here (2-5 meters). During summer the wave is smaller (1.5-3 meters) but still very nice to surf. It is a very quiet place. During summertime there are many windsufers.
Marocco is a country with 1000 faces and there are 1000 places with great waves. Most of the places have not been overrun by tourism, so you can make a true travel experience.
The languages spoken in Marocco are Arabic and French. The currency is Dirham (15 Euro are about 1 Dirham). Amex and Visa are accepted in most shops of larger cities but you should always be carrying cash as well. The more you move towards west-sahara the less you can rely on your plastic money.
SPOT RATING: 4****
(1- not so okay, 2-okay, 3-cool, 4-very cool, 5-the ultimate spot)
