        guiding

        All of our Guides have invaluable knowledge of the Moroccan coastline and are proper locals – they know exactly what breaks are working and when.

        To get around, we have a fleet of vans and 4×4′ s equipped with FCS auto accessories, and medical kits.

        We are the only company in Morocco to operate 6-level groups, which means you always get the best possible waves on offer and never have to surf waves too big or too small, too slow or too fast, or be sat watching or wondering if it’s better at another spot.

        Please note: This package is only available for intermediate and experienced surfers (levels 4 to 6).

         
        levels

          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.

          Surfers who are level 4 to level 6 are able to book our Surf Guiding package.

          Level 6

          You’re an advanced surfer and competent in all conditions. Each day your guide will search for the best waves the area has to offer. Expect very long powerful point breaks, A-frame reefs and hollow beach breaks. Our guides are complety focused on finding the best possible conditions on the day regardless of distances needed to travel to find them.

          Level 5

          You are comfortable in small to medium sized reef, point and beach breaks.

          At level 5 you’re able to surf all the spots in the local area just not too big and scary. Each day our guides will assess the conditions and get you to the best, uncrowded waves.

          Level 4

          You’re outback at beach breaks catching green waves up to head high. Our guides will find you clean and mellow breaking waves and if the conditions permit we will take you to sand bottom point breaks.

         
        eat

        At all of our locations, we serve a mix of Moroccan-inspired dishes alongside international classics and everything is freshly prepared by our chef using locally sourced seasonal ingredients.

        For breakfast and dinner, guests feast together at sharing tables located on the terrace overlooking the surf. For lunch, we provide you with a packed lunch for the beach.

         
        yoga

        Yoga is a big part of the Surf Maroc experience.

        We have experienced 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 centers in Morocco.

        Our fantastic teachers expertly blend Core Power Yoga, Creative Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, Restorative, Yin Yoga and more.

        We run 60 – 90 minute yoga classes every day at Amouage from 7 am (7:30 am during the summer) to 9pm.

        FAQ

        • Surf Guiding
          • Are surf lesson and equipment included?

            Surfboards (standard or premium) and wetsuits are not included in this package, as some guests like to bring their own so we have made it an optional extra.

            Surf lessons are not included in the surf guiding package. If you would like lessons, please see our Surf Coaching package for more info (also, equipment hire is included in this package!).

          • What sort of waves will I surf?

            Please see our levels section and also our spot guide on the Surf page.

          • Can I go surfing later / can I do a half day?

            We will always try to adapt to what you would like to do. If your group is surfing nearby your guide will come to pick you up. If they are more than 5 mins drive away it might be more difficult for the guide to leave the group for safety reasons. We will try to organize a car and driver in this situation, but it cannot always be guaranteed.

          • Can we go on a excursion in place of our guiding package ?

            If the surf is bad or all of your group want to go on a local excursion your guide can take you to Agadir. Please note even if only one person in your group wants to surf our priority is to the surfers. In this case, we can arrange excursion but costs will apply. Please see the excursion section on the About page.

             

          • What's the surf going to be like?

            Please see the season guide and the surf forecast section on the Surf Page.

          • Whats the water temperature?

            Please see the season guide and the surf forecast section on the Surf Page.

          • What level surfer do I have to be?

            We only allow surfers who are level 4 to level 6 to book Surf Guiding, whether that’s for a day or a full holiday package. Surfers that are level 1, 2, or 3 can only book Surf Coaching. If any inquiries or bookings are made for Surf Guiding by level 1 or 2 surfers, our reservations team has the right to amend the booking.

          • Can I change my surf level group?

            Absolutely! If you wish to move up or down a group or level, simply inform your host the day before who, after confirming with your instructor/guide, will take the necessary action to get you into the appropriate group the next day.

        • General
          • Where is Surf Maroc?

            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.

          • How do I get there?

            Morocco is served by direct flights from the UK and other major European airports, with flight times to Agadir between 2-4 hours.

            Guests traveling from the US, Australia, or North Europe 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 southeast along the coast road.
            Road transfers from Marrakech can be easily arranged and the new motorway has dramatically cut the journey times down to 3 hours and cost approx £100 for 3 people. Surf Maroc does not provide these transfers but can book one for you. Payments for the transfer are made directly to your driver.

            Skyscanner – a great site to see who flies where internationally.

          • Do I need a visa?

            EU and US passport holders do not require a visa to enter Morocco for tourist purposes. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. If you hold a passport from outside the European Union or the United States, we strongly recommend that you check with your nearest Moroccan Embassy.

          • Can I bring my children?

            Villa Mandala, our yoga retreat center, is an adult-only location (15+).

            Taghazout Villa and Amouage, our surf camp and boutique hotel, welcome family all year round. As a surf holidays provider, please be aware that we prioritize guests who want to join the surf and book the surf package

            We teach kids surfing from 8 years old (private lessons) and take them on full-day coaching from 12 years old (with an adult joining). From 15 years old, they can join any of our surf groups on their own.

            During the festive season (Christmas and New Year weeks) we accept reservations on surf package only.

            Our locations are all very special and welcome all types of guests: solo travelers, couples, groups of friends, and families. Nevertheless, they are not being designed for kids’ safety, and therefore children are completely under their parent’s responsibility.

          • Can I hire one of Surf Maroc's locations exclusively?

            Absolutely! Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, group trip, or if you would like to run your own weeks here with us. We can tailor-make a package for you.

            We provide all the accommodation, surfing, logistical, catering, and concierge services allowing you to hang out and enjoy the sun, surf, and culture with your guests.

             

          • Can I spend Christmas and New Year at Surf Maroc?

            Absolutely! Spend Christmas or New Year on the beach in the sun and surf some great waves.

            Every year, we organize a memorable New Year’s Eve party at Amouage, to which all our guests are invited!

          • How about cash? What is the currency? Where can I get it?

            The Moroccan currency is the Dirham. Exchange rates at the last time of checking were around 12Dh to the £1, 10Dh to the €, and 8Dh to the $.

            Dirhams can only be obtained within Morocco. There are exchange facilities and ATMs in the airport. There are also plenty of ATMs in Agadir. There are no ATMs in Taghazout, the nearest is Aourir, a ten-minute drive from Taghazout. This machine and many other ATMs in Morocco do not accept Maestro and can be unreliable, if you have a VISA card we recommend you bring it.

            We accept Visa and Mastercard in all Surf Maroc location

          • Can I use my phone? Is there internet?

            Nearly all networks work in Morocco and coverage is good. Contact your network for data roaming and call charges.

            There is fiber optic in all our locations.

          • Is the standard of the services the same at each location?

            At all of our locations, the services are run at the same high standard with the same friendly hospitable staff, new vehicles, and state-of-the-art surfing equipment.

             

          • What is the surf and the weather like? When is the best time to visit?

            Morocco is an all-year-round destination for great surf and great weather. That’s why Surf Maroc is open all year!

            The summer months (May– September) see small to medium swells with surf mostly on the beaches and reefs on the more exposed northwest coast. This is a great time for anyone looking for fun. 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 of November to February, there is a small chance of rain, although statistically, it is unlikely.

            .

          • What boards should I bring, do you rent equipment?

            With such a large range and choice of waves, you may want to bring a whole quiver of boards.

            To generalize, 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 that can get up to 15ft.

            At the Surf Maroc surf shop, you will be able to hire standard and premium boards – check our selection here

             

          • What amenities are there in Taghazout?

            There is an abundance of restaurants and cafes in Taghazout. The are plenty of grocery shops selling fruit, vegetable and other essentials. There is a well-stocked pharmacy and four surf shops.

          • Are there surf shops around, what can I buy there?

            Surf Maroc surf shop offers a wide selection of surfboards, wetsuits, clothing, and a fair bit of hardware: leashes, wax, deck grips, etc

             

             

             

          • What about clothing, what will I need?

            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 particularly in mid-winter when the evenings can be chilly so warm clothes are a good idea during that period.

             

          • What food can I expect?

            Our food is fantastic! The food served in all our venues is amazing, homemade with fresh and seasonal products, and we cater to all diets!

            Our chefs will prepare a mixture of Moroccan and international dishes every day.

            Breakfast is included in all our locations. All packages, apart from Room & Breakfast, include a packed lunch and communal dinner.

          • Do you supply towels?

            Yes! Both beach towels and bath towels are provided.

          • What about alcoholic drinks?

            Alcoholic drinks can be legally served and sold throughout the country. Morocco even produces its own range of wines and beers.

            Amouage bar & kitchen is open every day from 1 pm – we offer a great selection of beers, wine and cocktails!

             

          • Do you cater for special diets?

            We understand that some people have special requirements. Let us know in advance, and we’ll do our best to make sure we have exactly what you need.

            All guests should be aware that not all ‘specialized food alternatives’ are available.

          • Do I have to rent a whole room?

            All our rooms are private, with the exception of our mix-gender dorms at the Taghazout Villa and the Amouage.

            The dorm rooms are reserved for guests on a surf package.

          • While staying in Taghazout Villa, can I go to Amouage?

            The Amouage Bar & Kitchen is open to the public from 1 pm to 9:30 pm.

            And since you are part of the Surf Maroc family, you get a preferential price on the Day pass if you want to treat yourself to a chill day by the pool (200 instead of 400dhs) and at the Spa (menu available on site)

            Day pass availability is set daily by management depending on hotel occupancy – it is not always available

          • What about the evenings?

            We host communal dinners in all our locations. It’s the occasion for everyone to meet around the dinner table and dine on the terraces overlooking the surf while enjoying a drink under the stars.

            The Amouage Bar & Kitchen is open to the public until 9:30 pm, you can treat yourself to an à la carte dinner and enjoy some of the chef’s specialty dish

            You can also go and have a mint tea in the village and check out the scene in this bustling little fishing village or we can arrange taxis for those who fancy checking out Agadir’s nightlife!

            Do not miss out our epic Surf Maroc bbq every Thursday!

          • What voltage and plugs do you use?

            Morocco is on 220 volts with two-pin round plugs.

          • Arrival and departure details

            You can arrive at any time.

            It is not always possible to have your room ready before 4 pm. If you do want to arrive early and your room isn’t immediately available, start enjoying yourself anyway – we’ll take care of your bags and let you know what services are available. Check-out is officially 10 am, but if you would like a later checkout, let us know and we’ll do our best.

            Please be aware that if you supply the wrong arrival or departure details and we send a transfer this will count as your transfer.

            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 the Agadir bus station and hotels, please make sure you book this through the Customer Portal.

          • Medical information

            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.

            Morocco is a developing country that 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 traveling to rural areas in developing countries. Some guests have found that taking probiotics before traveling has helped to prevent gastro-related illness.

            If you are pregnant, have any conditions or illness, or are generally concerned, we recommend you get in touch with your GP or travel clinic 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.

          • Can I drink the water?

            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.

            We provide free-of-charge, safe filtered water at all our locations. We recommend that you bring your reusable water bottle to refill on-site.

            We do sell glass-bottled water for 30 dirhams at our locations to help eliminate plastic bottles.

          • Agadir airport transfer are free?

            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 to land 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 surf package).

            If you would like to be collected from a different location, including Agadir hotels, please make sure you book this through the Customer Portal.

          • Solo Travelers - do you get any?

            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.

          • Can I join the surf groups if I am staying as Room & Breakfast?

            If you haven’t pre-booked one of our surf packages, and are staying on Room & Breakfast, 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. Please note that we can’t guarantee there will be space in any of our vans and you will be charged the local rate for those services.

          • Can I get a credit or a refund if I don't use some of the services I booked?

            We do not offer credit or refund toward pre-booked services or services part of a package but on request, we can provide you with all necessary documents you may need to claim it to your travel insurance.

          • What are your cancelation policies?
