independent surfing family travellers!
Save

Thinking of planning a 2 week trip to morocco, 2 adults & 2 kids (7 & 11).

We want to surf, eat good food, chill out and stay in a relatively low key beach side place. Any suggestions, is it worth hiring a car?, cheap budget important!

Thanks

You should definitely look at Oualidia. There is a surf school and it is a low key beach holiday. I think you'll also get some bargains re accommodation depending on the time of year. The beach is beautiful.

I've done this before but here goes again:

"Agadir’s coastline has some of the world’s best surf spots such as Anchor Point, Boilers and Killers. Reefs with very long right handers and excellent beach breaks for all levels, from total beginners to experts.

A few kilometres north of Agadir, lies the fishing village and surfing Mecca of Taghazout. Although Taghazout has become a surfer hideaway, the village still lives according to the local tradition yet much of the activities are related to tourism and there are many restaurants and shops around geared to travellers.

There is an excellent Surfcamp near Taghazout in Tamrhakht which is open all year, all inclusive and for all levels, offering guided tours to the best spots in the area while providing surf classes for beginners. Instructors speak perfect English, French, and Spanish and they have French Federation and Lifeguard diplomas.

Another 20 minutes up the coast there are long stretches of beach in Tamri that pick up most swell when all the other spots are flat. Getting in and out of the water is hard since here are lots of very sharp rocks (rating 5.5).

Further north you can probably find more breaks, but finding access to them is the hardest bit. South of Essaouira are some more surf spots but they are often blown out".

If you are a keen surfer you will know what I'm talking about. Bring you own surf gear as those supplied may be downright dangerous and not cheap to hire. Mkae sure you are adequately insured for extreme sports.

did you go in the end?

trying to find reviews on the various surf camp operators up in taghazout and around agadir in general.

i am looking for a place that has

- qualified instructors (both certified and enthusiastic teachers, not just surf gods paying the rent);

- group or private instruction;

- relaxed community atmosphere that will provide common housing, meals and people to hang out with, sans partying all night. (i am a married father of 2 and looking to start surfing again, relax and read a lot of books for a week.)

did your trip (trip research) find you anything good???
