Surf camp Morocco

Surf camp Morocco is located in the calm surf village of Tamraght, 19km north of Agadir and 4 km outside of Taghazoute, at the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The atmosphere here is very tranquil and relaxed, but only a short taxi drive away you can go clubbing in the busy resort of Agadir.

Morocco is an exciting country famous for its Berber culture and renowned cuisine. Open-air markets throughout the country are piled high with rugs, woodwork, jewellery and leather - said to be the softest in the world. The local people are very friendly and the country has an exciting oriental atmosphere.

Located at the Atlantic coast, northwest of the great Sahara desert, Morocco has excellent conditions for surfing. The coastline is blessed with big Atlantic swell and hot offshore winds coming from the desert. The surfing in Morocco is well suited for both beginners and experienced surfers. The surf school is completely mobile, meaning that classes are held in different beaches depending on the surf conditions of the day. For the more experienced surfing crowd, Morocco has a lot of challenging surfing to offer. Join a surfari and you will be transported to great uncrowded breaks every day.

The area around Agadir has a nice micro-climate, meaning that it seldom rains and average day temperatures vary between 22 °C (72°F) in winter (November – February) and 28°C (82°F) in summer (May – August).

The surf school usually holds classes at lovely Banana beach, located very close to the surf camp. But the surf school is also completely mobile, meaning that lessons can be hold at the most suitable beginner wave up or down the coast. Depending on your level of surfing, the surf instructors will guide and help you to improve your surfing skills.

We guarantee that after one week of surf school the complete beginner will be able to surf and the experienced surfer will have improved greatly.

This is a great opportunity to meet different surfers from all over the world, to share experiences and have a good time.
