EXPLORE 2.0 Morocco Surf Road Trip

What to Expect

We’ve curated the Moroccan road trip we would put together for ourselves. A 7 night trip taking in three epic surf destinations along the Moroccan coast. We’ll be settling into our trip with 2 nights 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.

We can’t road trip the Moroccan coast without a stop in Imsouane. We first surfed here in 2006 and its had a special place in our hearts ever since. 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. There’s a reason people call this place the magic bay! We’ll have two nights in imsouane to soak up the eclectic vibes of this Berber fishing village turned surf town, with multiple surf sessions to make the most of its endless wave.

Day 5 is when we will take the longer drive south to the less traveled spots around Mirleft. We will take our time, stopping off in Tagazhout to explore and take a rejuvenating session in the local Hammam. Mirleft village is our home for the final 3 nights of our trip. From here we will fully explore the uncrowded breaks in this area and enjoy the relaxed pace of life in this quieter spot in the South. 

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 Essaouira Airport (ESU), a departing flight from Agadir Airport (AGA), reserve your spot on the trip and then we will take care of the rest.

SURFING

Expect our usual high level of coaching to help you progress towards your surfing goals during the trip. With eleven surf coaching sessions, two free surfs, 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 but also the quieter peaks 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.

Is this Surf Trip For Me?

Morocco offers great waves for progression for all levels of surfers from beginners to more experienced surfers who ride green waves. Because this trip is mobile and we will be surfing many different waves we don’t feel it is the best choice for beginner surfers who are just getting used to the basics. If you are a beginner we would encourage you to choose one of our retreats that is based in one location.

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. We are always happy to chat through any questions or concerns about choosing the right destination and retreat for you, so do drop us a line if you have any queries
