South Atlantic

Wind‑sculpted coastlines: surf villages, cliffs, and endless Atlantic horizons.

Overview

South Atlantic runs from Essaouira down through Agadir and the wild coastal bends further south: a region of surf, argan trees, fishing harbours, and long empty beaches.

For Moropedia, it’s a dream for loopable ocean motion and clean minimal compositions.

Where it is

Main hubs: Essaouira and Agadir.
Coastal stretch: Taghazout, Tamraght, Tiznit, Sidi Ifni, Mirleft (depending on your route).

Top destinations

Essaouira – windy ramparts, fishing port, blue boats.
Taghazout – surf lines + pastel village textures.
Agadir – modern seafront + easy base.
Sidi Ifni – cliff town aesthetics and empty beaches.

Signature experiences

Slow shutter wave sequences (ND + tripod)
Harbour details: ropes, nets, boat paint (macro)
Dune + cliff silhouettes at sunset

Best time to visit

Spring and autumn: best balance of wind and warmth.
Summer: busy in peak spots; still great if you shoot dawn.

Moropedia filming checklist

Wind is constant—use a furry windscreen; lock exposure to avoid flicker.
For surf: 70–200mm + high shutter for spray textures.
Keep drone flights short and stable; sea wind can spike suddenly.
