FAQ

In Morocco you can find waves at any time of the year. Main season is in winter time, approximately from September until April, so the waves usually get bigger during that time. But here around Taghazout, we are at one of the locations with the most consistent waves throughout the whole year, so also in summer time we have waves, mostly clean and easy ones, which are perfect for longboarding, for example!

Since we have over 20 surf spots along the coast, which work differently at different conditions, there will always be a good spot to surf. In our daily surf trips and surf packages, the transfer to the best surf spot of the day is always included, so you can be sure to catch the best waves every day, no matter at what time of the year you’ll come to our surf camp!

It rarely happens that the conditions are not surfable at all. This happens only on very few days per year. In case it happens on one of your surf days, we do an alternative program instead of the surf trip on that day, such as a day trip to Paradise Valley, where you can swim and cliff jump in the Atlas mountain lakes, or we visit the traditional market in Agadir, or some other trip or activity. However, this does not happen often, and it has never happened on more days in a row. We make sure that you get the most out of your surf camp stay!

Along the coast in and around Taghazout, there are more than 20 surf spots.

We are located approximately 200 meters from Taghazout Beach. Panorama beach break is a 10 minutes walk, and famous Anchor point is a 15 - 20 minutes walk, where you can watch pro surfers practicing or even competing at some WSL competitions every year.

Since every surf spot works differently at different conditions, we recommend to inform yourself very well about the surf spots, the tides and the conditions before going to surf on your own. In our surf camp, we include the transfer to the best working surf spot every day, in order to make sure that our guests will get the most out of the waves during their surf camp stay.

Surf Coaching is suitable for all levels: beginners, intermediates and slightly advanced surfers. At the surf spot, the group is split up into different level groups, so that everyone can start surfing on his or her individual level, and receive lessons and / or feedback on his or her level. Every morning, our surf coaches choose the best beach break spot of the day. You can also join the Surf Coaching program without any lessons, if you prefer to surf on your own and just take advantage of the transfer, equipment and packed lunch.

Surf Guiding is suitable for experienced surfers. We only offer this package at a minimum group size of 5 persons. Our local surf coaches will take you to the best working surf spots along the coastline every day, being aware of soil conditions, ocean currents and the actual swell.

The type of board that you will use during your surf trip, depends on your level and the current wave conditions. We can provide all kinds of boards (foamies, hard boards in different sizes and shapes, and also hard-softs). We might also change your board during your stay, depending on the surf conditions, the surf spot, and your progress. If you wanna change surf board during your stay, you can tell our surf coaches to change it for you for the next surf day.

The surf equipment (board, wetsuit, leash) is included during the time of the Surf Day Trips (Surf Coaching or Surf Guiding), which include usually more or less 4 - 5 hours of surfing per day. If you still wanna go surfing after these trip, you can rent a board additionally daywise.

Every Surf Coaching Trip includes a 2-hour surf lesson on your individual surf level. The second part of the day trip is a free surf session without instruction.

If you book a week package with us (like the Surf Coaching Package or the Surf & Yoga Package) for example for 7 nights, you will have 4 Surf Coaching Day Trips included, each one including a 2-hour surf lesson, plus one day you’ll have the surf day trip to Imssouane, which also includes a 2-hour surf instruction.

(You can also book our surf packages for less or more than 7 nights, then there are less / more surf trips included accordingly. Just request your dates in our booking form as they fit best for you!)

The exact times always depend on the wave conditions, on the weather (like wind or rain) and of course the ocean tides. Our certified surf coaches check the wave and weather forecast every evening and then set the program for the next surf day. That’s why it is important that you are flexible for the sake of the best waves!

Usually, if the tides and wave conditions allow, we leave after breakfast (between 9:00 and 11:00), and stay at the surf spot for approximately 4 - 6 hours, with a lunch break in between. (The lunch is included, and is cooked freshly every morning by our kitchen team.)

In some rare cases, the tides, weather and / or wave conditions might not work during the day, so that the surf trip will be at a completely different time, for example at around 6:00 - 7:00 in the morning for a sunrise surf, or between 13:00 and 16:00 for a afternoon / sunset session.

We drive you to the best working surf spot every day. We have more than 20 surf spots along the coast around Taghazout. Depending on the actual wave conditions, our experienced surf coaches decide every morning which of the spots will be the best for getting the most out of the waves! The transfer to the best spot of the day and back to our surf camp is always included in the surf trips.

If you book a surf package of at least 7 nights with us, you will also join us on a surf trip to the longest wave of North Africa, which is located in Imssouane (around 1,5 hours drive).

You can choose the Surf Coaching Package or the Surf & Yoga Package if you are a slightly advanced surfer, an intermediate surfer, or a beginner, as well if you never surfed before. The surf trips in these pacakges are suitable for all levels, because we split the group up at the beach into different level groups.

It is not a typical “all-inclusive” holiday. For example, we only include a certain amount of surf trips or dinners, depending on how long you stay. For example, lunch is only included during the surf trips. So if you have one day without a surf trip, you won’t have lunch with us on that day. Also the surf equipment is only included during the time of the surf trips, not on the other free surf days. However you can still rent a surf board on these days. Also, we usually include one dinner less than evenings, because we don’t know your exact arrival time in advance. If you arrive early enough, you will join the dinner on your first evening. Then on your last evening, you can add another dinner or eat in a restaurant. If you don’t arrive early enough on your first night, you still have enough evenings for having all your booked dinners with us.

We recommend to read exactly what is included in your offer when you receive our email offer, because your surf camp holiday will include exactly what is stated in the offer. If you book for exactly one week, you can see what exactly is included in the package:

• Surf Coaching Package

• Surf & Yoga Package

• Surf Guiding Package
