About this listen

This text chronicles a surfing expedition to the disputed territory of Western Sahara, currently administered by Morocco, highlighting the region's unexpected potential for quality waves despite its arid location on the edge of the Sahara Desert. The authors detail their quest for uncrowded spots, notably finding excellent right point breaks near Dakhla, with January being the optimal time for North Atlantic groundswell and minimal wind. The narrative also touches on the complex geopolitical situation, including the recent diplomatic recognition of Morocco’s claim on the territory, and the tension between surfing interests and the far more lucrative local octopus fishing industry
