The best surf spots in Morocco
Morocco gathers its waves along the Atlantic coast around Agadir. From famous Taghazout to the quiet beaches of the south — the spots that count.
Three surfers with boards under their arms by the coast road, the town and its minaret behindMorocco's best surf spots lie along the Atlantic coast, between Essaouira and Sidi Ifni, with a high density around Agadir. You will find both world-famous waves and beaches that have stayed quiet further south.
The best-known spots, north of Agadir
Taghazout is the reference, 45 minutes from Agadir: long, powerful right-handers, but plenty of people. All around — Tamraght, Imsouane with its endless wave — the same picture: excellent, but well visited.
The quieter spots in the south
Head south and the coast empties out. Around Mirleft, Aglou and Sidi Ifni the same Atlantic swell rolls onto beaches where you count the surfers on one hand.
- Taghazout — the star, world-class right-handers, but crowded.
- Imsouane — one of the country's longest waves, a bohemian mood.
- Essaouira — more wind and kitesurfing, for lovers of the town.
- Mirleft & Sidi Ifni — the quiet south, ideal for progressing in peace.
Which one should you choose?
For learning or catching your breath beyond the crowd: the south. For the big winter days and the buzz: north of Agadir. Many do both — the coast is easy to drive along.
We put our surf camp in the south, in Mirleft — for the quiet before the first wave. If this coast speaks to you, surf it with us: 29°N·10°W.
