With a stunning coastline stretching along both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, it’s no wonder that Morocco is a surfing hot spot. It’s also one of the most fascinating and intoxicating cultural destinations in the world.
Morocco has something to offer everyone so why not combine learning to surf at one of the many fantastic surf camps in Morocco with exploring the colourful, historic and culturally captivating cities like Marrakech, Fez, Chefchaouen and Essaouira or trekking in the High Atlas Mountains!
Where to find surf camps in Morocco
There are numerous Morocco surf camps, but the majority of them are along the Atlantic Ocean in the Souss-Massa Region around the surf mad towns of Taghazout and Tamraght. This is the best region for surfing in the country, and one of the best surf regions in the world, and the area where I recommend you book a surf camp in Morocco.
Agadir airport nearby makes a convenient entry point to this surf hotspot. Most surf camps in Morocco are affordable and great value for money and many also include yoga classes – yoga and surfing makes the perfect combination and there’s also a wide variety of amazing yoga retreats in Morocco.
You can surf in Morocco all year round, apart from April and November due to rainy weather, the peak surf season runs from December to March when the biggest winter swells hit Morocco from the North Atlantic.
