Lagouira

Right-hander below the old fort. In big north-west swell, the waves wrap around the point and peel into the sandy cove.

Confirmed

Safety and access

Atlantic side of the peninsula, Western Sahara side: military zone, access by permit only, mines reported.

Confidence level

Confirmed: the wave shows up in the same place over several years of satellite images, in big swell. That tells us it works, not yet how good it is at the peak.
