Why learn to surf in Morocco?

For beginners, Morocco is a year round surf Holiday destination. The North Atlantic swell reaches our beautiful beaches in clean lines and the changing shoreline offers options for all levels, whatever the conditions. Beach, point and reef breaks scatter our local coastline within the 70km surrounding Awesome Surf Morocco and we are spoilt for choice for perfect, beginner or intermediate. You are never too far from a wave that suits your level either if you’re more experienced, with world class spots on our doorstep!

WHEN TO SURF?

Beginners and longboarders have clean mellow waves all year round, but the best time to surf BIG waves in Morocco is from September until April due to the winter Atlantic swell reaching our shores during these months. These are the famous waves that have made Morocco the perfect destination for experienced surfers looking for pumping swell, glorious winter sunshine and an African surf adventure. During these months – our surfing high season – the best surf takes place on point and reef breaks, plus some epic secret spots in between. It’s at these bigger days that we take our beginners to the protected beach breaks for the ultimate and safe conditions to learn to surf.

The summer months, between May and August, are just as perfect for beginners and intermediates wanting to progress and spend the afternoons visiting local town, shops or just enjoying the sand . During summer time you find small to medium swell on sandy bottom beach breaks, especially good for starting out in the surfing world. It is also a great time to have fun in the water with uncrowded warm water surf. The water temperature peaks around August time, at a balmy 22c, whilst the air temperature around this time can reach as high as mid 30s! Waves on average during the summer months are around 3-4ft at our ideal surf spots. Wetsuit or no wetsuit, these temperatures see our guests and visitors making the most of their time in the water!

WHERE TO SURF IN MOROCCO?

Morocco has surf spots all along the coastal line but most surf breaks are found in the south of the country, between Essaouira and Agadir. And that’s exactly where Awesome Surf is located, above Taghazout Bay in a quiet little surf and fishing village.Tamraght sits on the edge of the surrounding mountains, and we are lucky enough to overlook the village, mountains and ocean, seeing righthand point break from our roof terrace. Check the conditions before you step foot outside with our binoculars at breakfast!

For the advanced surfers, Anchor Point is an iconic surf spot in Morocco. Just North of Taghazout, this point breaks within 15 minute drive of us at Awesome . When it’s working, it produces epic hollow walls that peel all the way into Taghazout. More spots in the area not to be missed are Killer Point, Boilers, Draculas, Mysteries, Spiders, Imsouane and Tiffnit...,to name just a few that pick up the pumping swell!

Morocco is not just one of surfing destinations, but it's rich historical past is reflected in its modern-day culture. Meals, languages, art, and landmarks in Morocco are a fusion of the various ethnicities, religions, and nationalities that have made their mark in Moroccan history.
