YOUR OFFICIAL SURF TRAVEL GUIDE FOR MOROCCO

... Everything you need to know before going on a surf trip to the land of right points

SURF SPOTS

Morocco is a beautiful country on the NW coast of Africa. From the Sahara to the north, Morocco is a dream location for surfers and is also well connected with the rest of the world thanks to its major airports: Casablanca, Marrakech and Agadir.

The Taghazout/Agadir region is dotted with world-class breaks and is generally consistent. Even when there isn’t sizeable swell in the water, you can usually find something to surf that’s within driving distance. But again, if you want to really score, we strongly suggest to come and surf in Morocco anywhere between October and March, during these months you will experience a long and consistent swell almost on a daily basis and the quantity of surf spots which really suits surfers of all levels which makes it a paradise for surfers coming from all over the world.
