MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ

Breaks directly at the main spot and at nearby spots
The small, laidback towns and the surrounding area not only host the world-renowned surf breaks Anchor Point, Killer Point, Dracula and Boilers, but also have a wide selection of waves for every need and capability, and also offer some of the most consistent waves to be found anywhere. The area has been attracting foreign surfers since the 60s, and locally you can find surf shops, restaurants, pharmacies, Moroccan handicrafts and other amenities.

Seasonal conditions
The coast north of Agadir is populated by beautiful hills that spill into the ocean, creating this area's numerous surf spots. It is home to a variety of perfect waves, from sandy bottomed beginners’ waves to long glassy point breaks. In winter, storms in the north Atlantic generate long period groundswells that travel 1000s of miles to hit the coast of Morocco and produce the clean waves the area is famous for. For advanced surfers, the best time to come is October to February. But there is a huge variety of surf in this area of Morocco, 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 over 300 days of sunshine a year.

Between the months November to February there is a small chance of rain, although statistically it is unlikely. The summer months (April - October) are full of sunny days, and see small to medium swells with surf mostly on the beaches and reefs on the more exposed north-west coast.

JOURNEY

Ways to get to the camp
Morocco is served by direct flights from the UK and other major European airports, with flight times to Agadir between 2-4 hours. Guests travelling from the US 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 south east along the coastal road. There are taxis at the airport for 300 dirhams to Taghazout, but you can also arrange a pick-up from us for £25 (airport transfers are included in our surf packages). You can take a bus from the airport, but it's complicated, as it requires a bus to Inzegane (a city next to Agadir, then another bus to Agadir, to catch a bus to Taghazout.

Important details:
EU, US, Australian and New Zealand passport holders with a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date do not require a visa to enter Morocco for tourist purposes.
