The Girls Surf Maroc package is the ultimate girls holiday of surf and yoga.
Everyday is action packed, from yoga in the mornings to dancing in the evenings. Our Girls Surf Maroc package provides a comprehensive surf coaching program according to your level which will ensure you continue to progress, even after you leave.
Our Girls Surf Maroc package provides a comprehensive surf coaching program according to your level.
For beginners, learn the basics of surfing alongside ocean and tide theory; for advance surfers practice your advance manoeuvres or perfecting your style. Surf lessons are for two hour per day and free surf time in the afternoon. The aim of this program is to take your surfing to the next level as quickly as possible with our hands on surf coaching.
All of our Surf Guides have invaluable knowledge of the Moroccan coastline and are proper locals – they know exactly what surf breaks are working and when. To get you around we have a fleet of vans and 4×4′ s equipped with FCS auto accessories, safes for valuables, and medical kits.
In and around Taghazout we have a multi aspect coastline, which provides a range of different surf spots that work for any given tide or swell – we have waves for all surfing abilities for beginners to pros.
To ensure you get to surf waves suited to your ability we implement a surf levels system. This helps us pair you with a surf group seeking the same type of waves.
Our team of professional surf guides and system of levels sets us apart from other surf camps in Morocco.
Our Girls Surf Maroc package focuses on beginner/improver levels. If you feel you are more advanced than the levels described, please let us know when making your enquiry and we’ll be able to make arrangements for you.
Our level one coaching program is about teaching you the basics. We’ll start on the beach and then move to waist deep water working on board handling and safety, reading ocean conditions, paddling, and catching broken waves in the prone position. You’ll be up and riding in no time!
Level two surfers have surfed before, know the basics and are practising getting up in the white water. The focus is to increase your confidence in the waves in order to progress you to an efficient stance and increase your wave count. Key points will be paddling into waves and catching waves un-assisted, accelerating your board and the all-important pop up.
At level three you are outback, catching green waves, standing up and turning.
At this level we focus on solidifying your level one and two learnings with a view to progressing you beyond the white water. You’ll learn about the paddle out and the required techniques to make it easier, board control, quicker take offs, weight distribution. We’ll also introduce you to wave selection theory and catching and riding green waves.
We have three in-house yoga teachers, who offer inspiring, uplifting, and fun yoga classes for all abilities. Yoga goes hand in hand with surfing in our opinion and it’s an important part of the Surf Maroc ethos; we take it seriously and operate one of the best yoga retreat centres in Morocco. Our fantastic teachers expertly blend Core Power Yoga, creative Vinyasa Flow, Anusara, Hatha, Restorative and Yin Yoga. We run two open yoga classes every day at Amouage from 7–8 am and 6-7pm, as well as workshops three times a week at 4.30-5.30pm.
Private classes may be arranged on request from 500MAD/£40 per hour.
Please note our yoga classes are mixed.
There will be of course be plenty of time to chill out at the beach, soak up some sun and explore this beautiful area of Morocco.
During your stay and included in the week’s programme, there will be lots of opportunities to indulge at the Amouage Hammam & Spa massages, go horse riding, shopping in the souks, hanging out at the stunning Paradise Valley, or just chill at your accommodation.

Morocco is a liberal Muslim country, and men and women are welcome to wear shorts and t-shirts. Swimming costumes and bikinis are normal on the beach but it is advisable to cover up your arms and legs a bit when walking around town. Shorts, tees and flip flops are the norm. Trousers and jumpers are sometimes needed in the evenings all year round. In winter (Dec-Feb) evenings can be chilly so some warm clothes are a good idea during that period.
Surf Maroc is located in the Agadir region of southern Morocco. Taghazout is a unique gem on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Conveniently located 40 min from Agadir international airport it’s a short hop ( 2-4 hrs) from most central European cities. It’s the closest place for any European surfer to get year round warm water, perfect waves and a unique cultural experience.
Morocco is served by direct flights from the UK and other major European airports, with flight times to Agadir between 2-4 hours. Guests travelling from the US can connect either in Casablanca or at a European airport as there are no direct flights to Agadir. From Agadir airport, it’s a 45-minute drive south-east along the coast road. Road transfers from Marrakech can be easily arranged and the new motorway has dramatically cut the journey times down to 2 -3 hours and cost approx £80 for 4 people. Surf Maroc do not provide these transfers but can book one for you. Payments for the transfer are made directly to your driver.
Skyscanner – great site to see who fly where internationally. Flights leave the UK from London Stansted (STN) London Luton ( LTN) London (LGW), Manchester (MAN), Bristol (BRS). France is well connected with Paris, Toulouse Bordeaux, Marseille and Lyon all having direct flights to Agadir. Condor and Air Berlin serve central Europe.

There are exchange facilities and ATMs in the airport. There are also plenty of ATMs in Agadir. There are no ATM’s in Taghazout, the nearest is Aourir, a five-minute drive from Taghazout.

Morocco is an all year round destination for great surf and great weather. Surf Maroc is open all year. The summer months (April – October) see small to medium swells with surf mostly on the beaches and reefs on the more exposed north-west coast. This is a great time for anyone looking for fun, uncrowded warm water surf. There are some bigger days during this time for those looking for something more challenging.
During the winter months the waves, that have made Morocco famous, come to life. There is a huge variety of surf in this area of Morocco. There are not many places like it in the world. The region has something for everyone, from ideal beginner waves to challenging reef ledges. Intermediates and those new to the sport should not be put off or worried. Due to the nature of the coastline, there is almost always somewhere sheltered and manageable, and those looking for something challenging won’t be disappointed. Morocco is blessed with well over 300 days of sunshine a year. Between the months November to February, there is a small chance of rain, although statistically, it is unlikely.
With such a large range and choice of waves, you may want to bring a whole quiver of boards. To generalise, the majority of waves are right-hand point breaks from soft, slow, rolling spots to heavy, fast barrelling spots. Bring equipment to suit your ability and what you want to surf. If you don’t want to go big, your everyday board will suffice, there’s nearly always somewhere sheltered. If you do want to charge the big stuff, bring something suitable for mid-winter waves can get up to 15ft.
Hire Boards
Surf Maroc have teamed up with board and fin innovators SurfTech and FCS to give Surf Maroc guests exclusive access to the Tuflite Travel program and FCS test drive. We have stocked our beach front base in Taghazout with over 40 of SurfTech’s latest models from their extensive range. As well as that, FCS have supplied their cutting edge fins system, it’s a perfect opportunity to experiment with new shapes and fins or use the identical boards you have at home without the hassle and burden of transporting them.
We also have a fully kitted out surf school with every shape and size of boards to get you standing up and surfing.

(Apartment stays) We provide airport transfers to and from the airport. From then on you have a hire car at your disposal for the rest of your stay. Please ensure you have the original of a valid EU driving license which must have been held for at least one year. The law insists that you always carry your driving license and car hire documents with you when driving in Morocco. Seat belts must be worn at all times and you must not use your mobile phone whilst driving (a finable offence). Police and Gendarmerie checkpoints are based every few kilometres along the routes. Minor infringements will result in your having to make an on-the-spot payment. In Morocco, as in Europe driving is on the right. The main roads around Taghazout are good. In addition, when driving in Morocco, we advise you to drive slowly and carefully as the roads are generally narrower and may sometimes have bumps and potholes, especially after periods of rain. We do ask that you take particular care when driving, bearing in mind the conditions of your hire car rental agreement. Please bring roof-straps if you have them.
No vaccinations are required for visitors to Morocco and anti-malarial precautions are not necessary. We have first aid equipment along with staff trained in administering first aid. In the case of an emergency, there are hospitals and clinics in Agadir. Medical charges will apply according to the treatment received so make sure you have travel insurance before you arrive. There is a well-stocked pharmacy in Taghazout which is open every day.
In our experience, Morocco is a developing country which offers different foods, water, bacteria and climate that you may not be used to. By taking some sensible precautions, you can help reduce the risk of getting an upset stomach which often occurs when travelling to any new country. Some guests have found that taking probiotics before travelling has helped to prevent gastro related illnesses. However, please do not start taking any new supplements before seeking medical advice. We also highly recommend that you bring your reusable water bottle to use our safe, filtered water provided at all of our locations. If you are pregnant, have any conditions or illness, or generally concerned, we recommend you get in touch with your GP for advice before you travel. Please note our advice is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not constitute medical or other professional advice.
We recommend you do not drink tap water at all in Morocco, even in hotels, as it contains much higher levels of minerals than the water in Europe. For local people, this is not a problem as their bodies are used to this and can cope, but for travellers from places such as Europe, drinking the tap water will usually result in illness.
We do sell glass-bottled water for 30 dirhams at our locations to help eliminate plastics bottles. For just 10 dirhams (less than ￡1/€1) per day, you do have unlimited use of our water fountains to refill your water bottle. This water surcharge will be added to your bill at the end of your stay.
Yes! We provide free Agadir group transfer for surf package stays over 7 nights. We collect groups of up to 8 in each vehicle. On occasions, it may be necessary to wait for flights landing at similar times ( up to 30 mins ).
Please note that free transfers are only available from Agadir airport (if staying with us for 7 or more days on a package). If you would like to be collected from a different location, including Agadir bus station and hotels, please make sure you book this through the Customer Portal.
We get a lot of people who visit Surf Maroc on their own and have a brilliant time – bookings for solo travelers and groups is roughly a 50-50 split. The set up at all our locations and within our surf services allows for such a truly social atmosphere that you’ll be making new friends in no time.
If you haven’t pre-booked one of our surf packages, and are staying in B&B, but you’d like to go surfing please let your host know by 1 pm the day before. We will do our best to accommodate you.
