Taghazout Surf Experience

Taghazout is a small fishing village about 19 km north of Agadir that has become one of Morocco's best-known surf destinations. Whether you want a first lesson on a forgiving beach break or would rather watch experienced surfers from the rocks, this experience puts you at the heart of the coast's surf culture.

Highlights

• Beginner lessons on sandy beach breaks nearby, arranged on request
• Watching the long right-hand point breaks, including the famous Anchor Point
• Time in the village: blue fishing boats, cafés and rooftop views
• Lessons can be discussed for different levels, from first-timers to improvers
• An easy coastal day to pair with a beach afternoon

What to expect

Where a lesson is arranged, it normally starts on the sand with safety and paddling basics before moving into the white water. We will confirm by email what equipment is provided and by whom.

If you would rather stay dry, the headlands and beaches around the village are fine places to watch surfers ride long lines of swell.

Good to know

• Waves around Taghazout tend to be most consistent from about September to April; summer swells are usually smaller and gentler.
• Conditions change daily — the right spot depends on swell, wind and tide.
• Point breaks such as Anchor Point are for experienced surfers only.
• Bring sunscreen, a towel and a change of clothes.

Where it is

Taghazout sits on the coast road north of Agadir, beyond Aourir and Tamraght. Anchor Point is about 3 km north of the village, while Hash Point and Panorama beach are close to the village itself.
