Surfing southern Morocco, from Agadir to Sidi Ifni
South of Agadir a wilder coast rolls out beaches and points far from the crowds. From Mirleft to Sidi Ifni — the guide to Morocco's surf south.
A walk through the palm grove, a long stick leading the way — it is not compulsorySouthern Morocco — the coast running down from Agadir towards Sidi Ifni — offers some of the country's quietest waves. Allow about an hour and a half from Agadir airport to Mirleft, the heart of the area.
How do you get to the south?
The nearest airport is Agadir (Al Massira). From there it is about an hour and a half south to Mirleft; another half hour for Sidi Ifni. The road follows the sea — the spots go by as you drive.
Which spots around Mirleft?
- Aglou — a long sandy beach, accessible waves, north of Sidi Ifni.
- Legzira — the spectacular red cliffs, a few minutes from Mirleft.
- Mirleft — several soft beach breaks, perfect to learn on.
- Sidi Ifni — an old harbour, more demanding points for experienced surfers.
Who is this coast made for?
For anyone who prefers the real to the spectacular: fishing villages, markets, and sessions where you share the peak with two other people. Fewer schools, fewer shops — more sea.
The south isn't visited quickly; it reveals itself little by little, one morning at a time. That rhythm is exactly our 29°N·10°W surf camp in Mirleft — guided surf sessions matched to the day's conditions, quiet the rest of the time. Come and see.
