Which surf option suits you
Complete beginners usually start with the group lesson: two hours in the water with an ISA-certified Moroccan instructor and never more than four students per coach. Soft-top boards, wetsuits, beach insurance and transport to the day's spot are all included, and children can join from the age of eight.
If you want to progress faster, the private lesson gives you an instructor to yourself (or shared with one friend) for two hours, on a soft-top or hard-top board to suit your level, with video feedback on request.
Already surfing on your own? The full-day board and wetsuit rental in the middle of Taghazout covers soft-tops, funboards, fish and shortboards, with a leash and wax. And if you would rather spend a whole week in the water, the 7-night surf camp combines accommodation in Taghazout, two guided sessions a day, breakfast and dinner, board and wetsuit for the week and video coaching.
Where we surf around Taghazout
The spot is chosen each morning from the swell, the wind and your level, which is why lessons include transport rather than a fixed meeting beach.
Beginners learn on the gentle white water at Crocs Beach, Hash Point and Tamri. Intermediate surfers move on to Panoramas and Banana Point. When the swell allows, advanced sessions head to Anchor Point, Killer Point, Boilers or Imsouane, home of one of the longest right-hand waves in Africa.
When to come
October to April is the main swell season on this stretch of the Atlantic, when the point breaks come alive. Beginner waves run all year at Crocs Beach and Tamri, so a first lesson works in any month.
The water stays between roughly 17 and 22°C, and a 3/2 wetsuit is enough year-round. It is included with every lesson and camp.
Your first lesson, step by step
Every beginner session starts on the sand with a 20-minute safety and paddling briefing. You then move into knee-deep water on a soft-top board, where your instructor helps you time the waves and get to your feet.
Most beginners stand up and ride white-water waves during their first session. From there, a second lesson or a few days of camp is the quickest way to start catching green, unbroken waves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions travellers ask us most.
I’ve never surfed before — can I book a lesson?
Yes. We start every beginner lesson with a 20-minute safety + paddle briefing on the sand, then move into knee-deep water with soft-top boards. By the end of a 2-hour session, the vast majority of beginners stand up and ride white-water waves.
What’s the difference between a surf lesson and a surf camp?
A surf lesson is 2–3 hours including board, wetsuit, and instructor. A surf camp is a multi-day package (3–14 nights) with accommodation, two surf sessions per day, breakfast and dinner, video coaching, and yoga add-ons available.
What’s included in a surf lesson?
Surfboard rental (soft-top for beginners, hard-top from intermediate), wetsuit, certified ISA-trained Moroccan instructor, all transport between Taghazout and the day’s best spot, and beach insurance.
When are the best surf conditions in Morocco?
October to April is the peak swell season — Anchor Point and Boilers can produce 6–10ft+ on the right swells. Beginner waves run all year at Crocs Beach and Tamri. Water temperature ranges 17–22°C; a 3/2 wetsuit is plenty year-round.
How many people are in a group lesson?
Group lessons run 1 instructor per 4 students maximum — well below the legal limit. Private 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 lessons are also available if you want personalised coaching.
Where do you go surfing?
We pick the spot each morning based on swell, wind, and your level. Beginners surf Crocs Beach, Hash Point, or Tamri. Intermediates go to Panoramas or Banana Point. Advanced go to Anchor Point, Killer Point, Boilers, or Imsouane Bay (the longest right-hander in Africa).
