What to Expect

This is a road trip we’ve done ourselves on solo travel adventures and we want to share this experience with you! A 7 night trip taking in three epic surf destinations along the Moroccan coast. We’ll be settling into our trip with 3 nights in Mirleft, a traditional Berber town further South in Morocco will lots of breaks on its doorstep! This is the chance to get into our surfing groove and surf some slightly quieter spots.

On our departure day from Mirleft we’ll be heading north stopping off for the day in the popular surf town of Tagazhout for lunch, a spot of shopping and a visit to a local Hamam!

We can’t road trip the Moroccan coast without a stop in Imsouane. We first surfed here in 2006 and it’s one for your bucket list. Arguably the most consistent wave in the country, it’s like a tap that never turns off! It’s also the longest wave in Morocco, a mellow 800m right hand point break that just peels and peels. We’ll have two nights in Imsouane to soak up the vibes of this Berber fishing village turned surf town.

The last 2 nights will be resting in the peaceful fishing village of Tafedna, with a world class point on its day and a fun beach break, this less known spot is perfect for longboarders and improvers alike.

Throughout the week when we are not surfing expect the opportunity to explore local souks, relax at the hammam, soak up the best sunset spots, and eat the most delicious food. We’ve included some of our meals with our hosts and kept others free so that we can share some of our favourite eateries with you and of course find some new local gems together.

There are only 6 spots available on this adventure, so reserve your spot and if you have any questions at all just drop us a line We can’t wait to share the hidden delights of this special country with you.

TRANSPORT & ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES

From your arrival to departure, all of your transportation throughout the trip is included and planned for you. You just need to book a flight into Agadir Airport (AGA), a departing flight from Essaouira Airport (ESU), reserve your spot on the trip and then we will take care of the rest.

Some travel time stats:

SURFING

Expect our usual high level of coaching to help you progress towards your surfing goals during the trip. With daily coaching sessions, theory sessions and video analysis, this is a wave and progression packed trip.

Through the week you will experience a smorgasboard of Moroccan surf breaks which is not only going to be a wonderful adventure, its going to be fantastic for your surf experience. With multiple coaches and vehicles we will be able to cater to all the ability levels within the group and ensure everyone is surfing the right waves for their progression.

We’ve chosen November as the shoulder of the peak season to take advantage of the incoming swells and warm weather. Our experience over the years has shown us that this is one of the most desirable times for surf travel in Morocco.

*Whilst in Morocco we will be working with local surf coaches and guides in order to score the best waves possible and use their local knowledge to navigate breaks safely. We like to make our guests aware that these coaches are usually male and whilst your Surf Sistas coach with be the one predominantly coaching you, they will be there to help you get waves and offer support.

THE WAVES

Mirleft is an up and coming town with a variety of waves which are most beach breaks with the occasional point break! As we have options we can move around to get the best waves for your level at different beaches.

Imsouane is the spot where you’re likely to catch the longest wave of your life! However its consistency and set up makes it quite a popular and busy break! We’ll be aiming to surf here early doors to beat the crowds and we really do think if you’re coming to Morocco this is a must visit destination just to experience the magic of this bay! There’s another wave in walking distance which we can also hit up if the conditions allow.

Tafedna is the quiestest surf spot where we will wind down our trip surfing a fantastic point break. Contained within one long stretching bay there’s the main point which reels off the headland, some great peaks along the beach and the south corner providing more shelter.

We have a maximum of 6 spaces on the retreat with multiple coaches ensuring that we can tailor our coaching to your needs and progression.
