Swell Cabin shows a live 7-day surf forecast for Taghazout and each of its 4 surf spots on https://swellcabin.com/town/taghazout: each spot rated hour by hour (Flat, Poor, Fair, Good, Great or Epic) from the way its coast faces, the swell, its period, the wind and the tide, with the best time each day and why, the size in surfers' words (e.g. "chest to head high, clean"), tides, and how sure the forecast is (three wave models compared). It is checked live against the nearest buoy and airport wind reports where there are any, and refreshed every few hours (waves from Open-Meteo, wind from MET Norway). ### When is the best tide to surf in Taghazout? It depends on the spot: shallow reefs usually want mid to high tide, most beach breaks work best around mid tide. Swell Cabin's forecast for Taghazout weighs each spot's tide hour by hour and shows the best window each day with the high and low tide times (approximate: there is no tide gauge near the town). ### Is the Taghazout surf forecast checked against measurements? Yes. The open water off Taghazout is checked against the satellite altimeters (Copernicus Marine's near-real-time wave heights): 33 satellite passes within 100 km since 2026-09-26, typically 61 km out, put the forecast wave height within 20% of the measurement 100% of the time. Of the three wave models compared, Météo-France has been the closest to the satellites here. Generated using E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00179). Last checked 2026-11-05. ### How reliable is Swell Cabin's information about Taghazout? Trust in this page's data is low (53/100): the town has not been verified against sources in the last 12 months; 0 of 4 spots fully verified, 3 with a researched tide; season and water temperature checked against measured data; no open audit warnings. How we check: https://github.com/danielgalam/swellcabin/blob/main/docs/data-accuracy.md Last checked against sources on 2026-11-05. Every value comes from measured data (Open-Meteo, buoys), open databases (OpenStreetMap, Wikidata) or a published page we opened, never from visitor reports; a daily audit compares them and a weekly evaluation measures the error rate (https://github.com/danielgalam/swellcabin/blob/main/docs/data-quality.md). ### Is there a live surf cam in Taghazout? Swell Cabin hasn't found a live surf cam it could check in Taghazout yet (it only lists cams it has opened); the surf forecast on its page shows the waves this week. ### Where can I take surf lessons in Taghazout?
