MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ

The coast down here is a large one and full of options for Surf and other Water Sports.

We have around 9 beach breaks and these Surf Spots are usually where beginner surfers go to learn surfing basics. The waves mainly break on the sand, which is a very safe environment for learning. Tides have a big effect on the waves in Taghazout; for beach breaks they give their best around here with Med high tide to full high tide and here spring tides is when the sea goes really low and comes back really high - it happens here twice every 28 days.

Seasonal conditions

If the question is  summer or winter, its safe to say both, and actually here winter (same as European Winter months), is good for all surfing levels, but summer actually is a perfect season for people who seek learning basics and progressing their skills. During summer, the waves and the water temperature are perfect for learning surfing (we don’t need wetsuits during summer months). 

Wind Conditions - It does get a bit windy every now and then, especially when a season is changing, which makes it a good opportunity to be introduced to other water sports along the coast.

Crowd factor and local people

During the peak season (November - March), Taghazout locals love to come and watch surfers pull their tricks in the big waves, so it does get crowded when swells are on the doors, but mainly only on weekends, and it doesn’t affect the quality of your experience. In fact, locals feel happier to see happy campers have fun at their shores. With that said, there are several Surf spots in Taghazout, and only a couple of them get a bit busy.

In general, locals are really friendly in Taghazout, and as long as you respect the local culture and traditions of Moroccan people, you will only see a happy Moroccan treating you with a smile in Taghazout. Surfing is a peaceful activity and the atmosphere in Taghazout is completely different to the rest of Morocco. You will see it when you arrive - there is no hustle, there is no drama!

The locals are very hospitable, and happy to share their food, their time and waves. There are no problems as long as one follows the etiquettes of surfing that are internationally known, and if you are a beginner, we not only teach you the techniques of surfing, but also make you familiar with surf etiquettes, so you too have fun without making problems for other surfers in the community.

SURROUNDINGS / REGION

Characterization of surroundings/region

Taghazout is just 30 minutes drive north of Agadir city. We will offer you free Airport/ Bus Station pick up. The locals are friendly, and the atmosphere is generally quite relaxed in Taghazout. The cost of living is cheaper than European countries like Spain/ Portugal, however, you can also find a lavish meal and a pricey Cafe or Restaurant in Taghazout Centre, which is just a few minutes walk from our Surf house. The food quality is generally good, however, we advise you to drink only bottled water in Morocco, and avoid seafood in areas that are not near the coast. Not to say that the water is dirty, but we recommend not to try and risk with your metabolism. You don’t need any vaccinations before traveling to Morocco, however, we do advise you to have Travel Insurance before you join us for the Surf Camp. Surfing is a fun sport, but has its risks, and we would not want you to take any chances with your health and safety whist indulging in this amazing adventure with us.

Activities and facilities

During the evenings, we have several entertainment options such as Open Mic Night in a local Taghazout Cafe, Agadir Pub Crawl or Social drinks at a local bar. In the 7 days package, we also include trips to Agadir Souk, Paradise Valley, Argan Oil Village, etc.

Other facilities available in the hostel are Hammam/ Hot Tub, Pool Table, Foosball, TV/ X-Box etc.
