January
We usually leave out the Atlas, because the Toubkal trails are under snow. M’diq is out of season: Tamuda Bay is a summer coast and the marina largely closes out of season. Possible, but less ideal: Chefchaouen, because the Rif is cold and wet midwinter.

June
We usually leave out Merzouga, because the deep Sahara runs past 45C in high summer. Possible, but less ideal: Taghazout, because the Atlantic swell drops off over the summer.
July
We usually leave out Merzouga, because the deep Sahara runs past 45C in high summer, and the Agafay, because the stone desert is punishing in midsummer. Possible, but less ideal: Taghazout, because the Atlantic swell drops off over the summer; and Oualidia, because the lagoon fills with Moroccan holidaymakers in August.
