Surf camp in Morocco: 5 days in Mirleft, real progress

Five days at a surf camp in Morocco — our standard stay in Mirleft on the Atlantic coast. A whole week isn't needed to get going, but the body needs more than a weekend. Five days is enough for the technique to settle. The course suits anyone who wants to learn wave riding from scratch, and anyone who already surfs and wants the next step. You stay at the camp with the sea within walking distance.

Every day opens with a guided surf session in a small group. The instructor reads swell, wind and tide and picks the break that gives you the most — morning or afternoon, as the sea decides. Full board with Moroccan home cooking is included, made on site with local produce. Free time between sessions: the beach, the book, the afternoon light. Yoga by the Atlantic, hammam and massage can be booked as options.

You stay in a shared or private room, and we arrange the transfer from Agadir for a surcharge (€50 return per person). Five days is the format for real progress: time enough to repeat, correct and feel the difference from day one to the last wave. The coast around Mirleft has waves all year round and the course takes beginners as readily as experienced surfers. In the free time there are trips to Legzira, Tiznit and the souk. Book, pack, come.
