Surf Camps in Morocco

Which Region Suits You?

Morocco's Atlantic coast stretches over 1,200 km and packs in an extraordinary variety of surf zones. Here's how to choose the right base for your camp:

What to Expect from a Morocco Surf Camp

Morocco surf camps are among the best value in the world. Most are based in or around Taghazout — a small fishing village that has become Africa's surf capital — with a handful of more remote options for those who want to escape the crowds.

Accommodation ranges from traditional riad-style guesthouses with rooftop terraces to modern surf houses with pools. Most camps are small and social, with 10–20 guests at a time. Shared rooms are the norm at budget camps; private rooms and ensuite options are available at mid-range and premium properties.

Coaching is widely available at all levels. Morocco is one of the best places in the world to learn to surf, with long, forgiving point breaks that give beginners plenty of time on the wave. Intermediate and advanced surfers benefit from coaching at spots like Anchor Point, Killers, and Hash Point — some of the most consistent point breaks in the world.

What's typically included: daily surf lessons or guided sessions, board and wetsuit hire, breakfast and dinner, airport transfers from Agadir (AGA). Lunch is usually not included — most surfers eat at local tagine spots for €3–5.

Price ranges: Budget camps start from around €400–500/week including accommodation and lessons. Mid-range runs €600–900/week. Premium surf houses with private rooms, pools, and yoga start from €900–1,200/week.

Our Top Picks: Best Surf Camps in Morocco

Morocco has a tight-knit surf camp scene centred around Taghazout, with a handful of standout options across the coast. Here are our editorial picks:

Best Overall — Swell Surf Morocco Consistently one of the highest-rated camps on the Moroccan coast, Swell combines excellent coaching with a genuine community feel. Based in Taghazout with access to all the major point breaks, it suits beginners through to intermediates looking to make real progress.

Best for Beginners — Malika Surf Camp Malika is purpose-built for first-timers. The instructors are patient and experienced, the beach break setup is forgiving, and the riad-style accommodation gives a proper taste of Moroccan culture alongside the surf.

Best for Intermediates — Hash Point Surf Camp Named after one of Morocco's most famous point breaks right on the doorstep, this camp is ideal for surfers who can already ride and want to push their surfing on proper long walls. Coaching is technical and the location is unbeatable.

Best for Solo Travellers — Maktub House Small, social, and with a strong community vibe, Maktub House is a favourite among solo travellers. The rooftop terrace, communal dinners, and relaxed atmosphere make it easy to connect with other surfers.

Best Off-the-Beaten-Track — Sidi Kaouki Surfclub If you want to escape the Taghazout bubble, Sidi Kaouki is the answer. This remote beach south of Essaouira has powerful, uncrowded waves and a wild, windswept character that feels a world away from the main surf circuit.

Best Boutique — Salt House Morocco A beautifully designed surf house that sits above the standard surf camp formula. Salt House combines quality accommodation, curated surf sessions, and a strong focus on the overall experience — food, yoga, and culture included.
