Surf camp Morocco — seven days of small-group coaching in Taghazout Bay.
Morocco Surf Club runs a seven-night coaching week from Tamraght with groups capped at 5 surfers per coach. Daily sessions, board, wetsuit, and surf-day transport are included in the entry package; progression depends on conditions, fitness, water confidence, and practice.
Atlantic repetition without the factory vibe.
Who runs your week
Jamal · Lead surf coach
On our camp weeks the people are the product: you book knowing who is coaching, not a rotating roster from a bigger brand.
Jamal has been a surf instructor in Taghazout Bay since 2014. Calm, multilingual, and highly experienced at matching surf guidance to the level and confidence of each guest in the group.
“On a clean 1m morning with glass on the bay, I often start beginners at Panoramas — the sandbar can keep the takeoff zone more open. We still re-check depth, current, crowd, and shorebreak before anyone paddles out.”

What guests say after the week
Small groups mean the coach actually sees your waves
Quotes below are from post-trip feedback — we keep full names on file and can connect serious bookers with past guests on request.
“By day five I was choosing small green faces on purpose — the feedback between sets is what finally made it click.”
“Five people in the group meant every session someone was watching my pop-up, not a guide shouting from the beach.”
“They were honest when Anchor was off-limits for our level — that straight talk is why I trusted the rest of the week.”
Seven-day progression
What you can expect across the week
Days 1–2 · Foundations
Ocean safety, board control, popping up in white water, and reading simple peaks near shore.
Days 3–4 · Direction
Line choice, trimming, and introducing turns on mellow walls with coach feedback between sessions.
Days 5–7 · Greener faces
We chase coachable shoulders and early green sections when forecasts allow, still prioritizing confidence over hero waves.
Safety & Insurance
Expert-led sessions with local knowledge
We take ocean safety seriously so you can focus on your progression. Our weeks are structured around risk management and qualified supervision.
Named coach and records
The coach for your week is identified before booking. Ask to inspect the available training and safety records before payment; no public third-party credential URL is currently available.
Safety Protocols
Every session begins with a dynamic risk assessment and site briefing. We use local knowledge to avoid hazards like currents and rocks.
Emergency Readiness
We carry a full first-aid kit on every trip and have established emergency procedures for local medical facilities in Agadir.
Insurance Requirement
Personal travel insurance covering surfing is mandatory for all guests. We verify your policy details upon arrival to ensure you are covered for medical and activity risks.
Why not just pick any camp
We optimize for coaching clarity, not crowd volume
You get a predictable coach-to-guest ratio, spots matched to realtime conditions, and repetition structured so skills stick. We would rather shorten a session than push you into a lineup that does not match your level.
- Daily lineup briefings with tide and swell context
- Video-style feedback on select sessions when it helps timing and posture
- Gear sized to you so you are not fighting the wrong volume board
Beginner reassurance
If swell jumps, we shift to protected sand setups. If you fatigue, we break earlier. The goal is hours of meaningful reps, not exhausted arms.
Already riding some green waves? Tell us before arrival so drills target technique instead of basics.
Reserve your weekLocation & logistics
Taghazout Bay, Morocco — three bases, one bay
We operate from three bases along Taghazout Bay — Anza, Tamraght and Taghazout village. Most Surf & Stay weeks are based at the Tamraght lodge, and we can arrange stays in Taghazout village or Anza to match your preference. Each day we surf Anza, Tamraght, Taghazout, Banana Point, La Source, Panoramas, or other breaks around Agadir — picked around tide, wind, swell, and your level.
Fly into Agadir (AGA) and you are roughly 40–50 minutes from the lodge; we can arrange a meet-and-greet transfer as an add-on when you send your flight numbers.
Accommodation
Choose double, twin, or dormitory rooms in the lodge, a short walk or drive from the morning meeting point. Meals and lodgings are booked as part of the week — see the package tiers below for exactly what each includes.
Decision table
Our week vs a hostel package vs a solo trip
The tradeoff is not only price. The real difference is how much feedback, equipment certainty, and spot judgment you get across seven days.
| Criteria | Morocco Surf Club week | Typical hostel package | Solo self-guided trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anchor price | From €360 / person · 7 nights | Usually cheaper upfront, with extras varying by operator | Lowest lodging cost, highest uncertainty on transport and gear |
| Group size | Max 5 surfers per coaching week | Often larger mixed-level groups | Just you, unless you pay per lesson |
| Coach hours | Daily briefings, water sessions, and between-set feedback | Lesson blocks, often shared across many guests | Only when booked separately |
| Equipment | Boards and wetsuits matched to the week | Usually included, quality varies | Rental choice and fit are on you |
| Accommodation | Shared lodge, private room, or private buyout | Dorm-first or room upgrades | Any stay you can find |
| Transport | Surf-day shuttles to agreed breaks | Included on lesson days | Rental car, taxi, or no flexibility |
| What is included | Coaching, gear, breakfast, lodge nights, and surf-day shuttles | Package-specific and often less explicit | Everything is separate |
| Change rules | Written quote before deposit | Depends on booking platform | Multiple providers, multiple policies |
Day-by-day coaching arc
Seven days, one progression line
- Arrival: level check, equipment sizing, and a plain-English forecast read for the first session.
- Day 1: safety, board control, and clean pop-up mechanics on the friendliest available setup.
- Day 2: timing whitewater entries so you stop rushing the takeoff.
- Day 3: first line-choice decisions: left, right, or skip the wave.
- Day 4: trim drills on mellow shoulders when the forecast allows.
- Day 5: controlled green-wave attempts with feedback between sets.
- Day 6: repetition on your weakest movement, not random wave chasing.
- Day 7: final session, take-home notes, and a realistic next-step plan.
