Surf camps in Morocco, and how to choose one
Morocco has the most reliable beginner surf in Europe's reach: a warm-water Atlantic coast that works from September through April, an hour's flight from most of southern Europe, at roughly half the price of Portugal or the Canaries.
A surf camp here usually means one price covering a bed, meals, board and wetsuit hire, and a coached session most days — with transport to whichever beach is working that morning. That last part matters more than anything else on this coast. The swell direction changes what is rideable from one day to the next, and a camp that drives to the same car park every morning is running a timetable rather than a surf programme.
The country is not one surf destination but a dozen. Taghazout and Tamraght are where most first-timers go, for good reason. Imsouane has the longest, gentlest wave in the country. Essaouira is a walled medina with world-class wind rather than world-class waves. Safi holds a barrel that has no business being a beginner destination at all, and nobody should treat it as one.
