Ready for Your Next Surf Adventure?

Join a surf camp in Morocco and experience a journey that goes beyond the waves. Whether you’re chasing your first ride or your hundredth, Morocco’s coastline is waiting for you with open arms and endless waves.

Whether you're chasing your first wave or planning your next surf trip, Morocco might just surprise you. With its year-round swell, welcoming culture, and magical sunsets, this North African gem has quietly become one of the best surf destinations in the world — without the price tag or the crowds of more famous spots.

Here’s why you should absolutely give surfing in Morocco a go:

1. Waves for Every Level, All Year Round

From smooth beach breaks to legendary point breaks, Morocco’s coast is packed with variety. Beginners will love the consistent, soft waves, especially during the summer months when conditions are gentle, warm, and ideal for learning. In fact, summer here is often even better for beginners — fewer crowds and waves that let you focus on technique without stress.

Our camp is based in the Taghazout and Tamraght area — a true surf haven. And if you're more advanced, don’t worry — Anchor Point and Spiders are just around the corner, serving up world-class rides when the swell is pumping.

2. Sunshine & Surf — Always

Morocco offers over 300 days of sunshine a year, which means surf sessions under blue skies and golden light are pretty much guaranteed. The water might cool off a bit in winter, but the weather? Still dreamy.

3. A Rich Culture Beyond the Surf — And a Surprisingly Welcoming Vibe

Morocco is more than a surf spot — it’s a place where culture and adventure blend effortlessly.

And while some people still carry old stereotypes about Morocco being unsafe, the reality in the surf areas is completely different. Taghazout, Tamraght, and the surrounding villages are full of tourists, surf camps, and expats. It’s a vibrant yet relaxed hub where travelers can easily merge into local life and feel at ease.

In fact, the most common comment we get from guests at our camp is about the genuine friendliness of the local people. There’s a sense of openness and kindness here that makes visitors feel not just welcome, but often at home.

4. Affordable Compared to Other Surf Destinations

While surfing in Portugal or Bali can get pricey (especially in peak season), Morocco remains relatively budget-friendly. You can find surf camp packages with accommodation, lessons, and meals starting from €300–€600 a week, depending on the season and comfort level.

At our camp — locally owned and rooted in the community — we work alongside international team members to create an experience that feels both authentic and easygoing. And honestly? Every single guest, no matter where they’re from, ends up raving about the value. The surf, the food, the vibe — it’s a what-you-get-for-the-money kind of magic that keeps people coming back (and recommending us to their friends).

5. Community and Chill Vibes

There’s something about the Moroccan surf scene that just feels real. It’s laid-back, inclusive, and often full of creative nomads, locals, and fellow surf travellers. Whether you're staying in a riad or a surf hostel, chances are you’ll find yourself sharing tajine dinners, stories, and playlists with people from all over the world.

At our camp, it goes even deeper. We have a terrace with a magical ocean view and unforgettable sunsets, where guests often end up hanging out with local surf champions. Our owner is actually one of the first surfers in the area — back when surfing here was still underground and kids shared boards just to get in the water. That original surf crew? They’re still close. And they often drop by the camp, creating a vibe that’s warm, familiar, and full of stories.

Being here means you're part of that “top surfers local” circle — even if it’s your first time on a board.

6. That Unbeatable Post-Surf Feeling

There’s mint tea. There’s the sound of the call to prayer echoing in the distance. There’s the sun setting over the ocean. And you’ve just had a full day of surfing, sun, and soul-resetting.

Top it off with a sunset yoga session on the terrace, or — if you’re in the mood for a change of scenery — we also bring guests to one of the best garden yoga studios in the area, surrounded by plants and peace. Whether you're stretching out tired arms or just finding stillness after the waves, yoga here just hits different.

Trust us: once you experience this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it sooner.

7. Bonus Adventures You Didn't Expect

After a few days of surfing, nothing feels better than a good hammam and massage — and we’ve got the local spots dialed in. Whether you're going traditional or just need a deep reset, it’s the ultimate way to wind down.

But there’s more. Around Taghazout and Tamraght, we take guests on small but unforgettable adventures, like:

Visiting the sand dunes of Tamri for a golden, cinematic sunset

Wandering through the souks of Agadir, full of spices, colors, and energy

Taking a day trip to Imsouane, where the waves are famously long and mellow

And spotting the iconic goats in the trees — yes, it’s real, and yes, it only happens around here

These moments — unexpected, earthy, and totally unique — are what make this coastline so much more than just a surf destination.
