Oubaha (Mohammedia)

Oubaha (Mohammedia) is a reef-rocky surfing spot where waves break over rocky bottom sections (flat rocks with sand reported), producing powerful, hollow/fast waves. The wave is described as working from roughly 1.5–2m and holding up to around 2.5m+ on larger sets, with both right and left sections reported depending on the day and lineup. The safest expectation is for experienced surfers only: the break is associated with hazards including rocks, reef, and sea urchins, and it can become heavy and hollow when swell builds. Conditions can also be affected by wind, with light offshore flow from the E/E-leaning directions reported to groom the waves, while onshore winds can add chop. Timing-wise, mid tide (including rising and falling tides) is reported to be the best window. On good days, ride potential is described as anywhere from short lines to longer runs (commonly discussed in ranges that include 50–150m), with deeper barrel sections and fast, powerful wave faces when the swell and wind align. Crowd-wise, weekdays are often reported empty, while weekends see only a few surfers. Safety and equipment choices are important here: booties are specifically recommended to reduce the risk from urchins and sharp rocks, and standard surfing etiquette is expected in the lineup.
