Surfing in Morocco

Why Morocco is so good for surfing

Morocco faces the open Atlantic, so the swells that cross the ocean in autumn and winter reach its coast after a long journey. The coast is full of right-hand point breaks, where the waves peel along a headland for a long ride, and between them are sandy beaches that suit beginners.

You can surf all year. October to April brings the most consistent waves; May to September has smaller, warmer conditions that suit beginners.

Our pick

Why we chose Taghazout

Around Taghazout you can surf a gentle beach in the morning and watch the best surfers at Anchor Point in the afternoon. Beaches for every level are only minutes apart, so on any day of the season at least one of them has the right waves for you.

It is also easy to reach: Agadir airport is 30 to 45 minutes from our surf house, which is in Aourir, in the south of the bay.

Beginner beaches: K11, Devil's Rock, Crocro, Hash Point
For improvers: Banana Point, Panoramas
For experienced surfers: Anchor Point
