About Briech
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (286°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (106°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 21). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 16°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 22°C in July, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually October and December, with about 3 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Asilah.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
