Tamri lies north of Taghazout on Morocco's Atlantic surf coast, near a river mouth backed by banana plantations and low hills. It is prized among surfers as one of the most consistent breaks in the region, often working when the more sheltered points nearby are too small.

The wave is a powerful beach and river-mouth break, exposed to the full Atlantic, with peaks along the sandbars and long rights on the right swell. Because it faces so much open ocean, Tamri picks up more size than the tucked-away points, producing fast, punchy waves that suit intermediate and experienced surfers. Strong currents accompany the bigger days, so it is less a beginner's beach than a swell-magnet for those who can handle power.

Winter, roughly November to March, is prime, when north and north-west Atlantic swells arrive with size and the offshore mornings groom the peaks. Its exposure makes it a reliable fallback when the region's points are flat.

The setting is rural and wild, with the river valley's plantations and roadside stalls behind a broad, often empty beach, and few facilities at the break itself. The surf hub of Taghazout and the city of Agadir lie a short drive south, providing accommodation and supplies. Road access leads close to the sand, and the open, uncrowded character is much of the draw for surfers exploring the Moroccan coast.
