We understand that every traveler has unique needs and requirements. And with this in mind, we have prepared a more comprehensive list specifically for our beginner guests who have never been to a surf camp before.

September 8 was meant to be a happy day: it was Local Surf Maroc’s founder, Rachid’s birthday. 

But this ended up being the least of Rachid’s worries as tremors started shaking the town of Tamraght and cut electricity. 

Travelling to Morocco has seen a lot of changes and challenges over the last 3 years. Between border closures and obscure travel requirements, it was difficult to reach Taghazout Bay and the amazing waves that rolled through. So we’ve put a list together of some tips as you plan your trip to Morocco in 2023.

We’re not journalists.

We’re surfers, running a surf school and surf camp in Morocco.

But in making sure you have a good surf experience in Taghazout Bay during a coronavirus pandemic challenges us to flex our investigative and journalistic muscles: We want to make sure you have the most up to date and accurate information when travelling to Morocco so you can have a hassle free surf trip.

No waves? No problem! Find out how at Local Surf Maroc we make the most of our time in Taghazout Bay so our surfing keeps getting better.

Nothing destroys these plans and creates a taste of disappointment more than bad weather or uncooperative waves.

Not to worry! Even if surfing is not an option for a day or two, there are still plenty of things to do in and around Agadir for you to leave Morocco with amazing memories.

What about food? If it’s really hot out, your appetite may be stifled. If you’re going for a surf, any heavy food might leave you feeling nauseous once you’re on the surfboard (all that pressure on your stomach!).

Last time we posted, Local Surf Maroc was in limbo. Today, we still remain in lockdown. Over the last few months we have taken the time to reflect on, not only our intentions to own a surf camp, but what we would like it to look like and how it makes guests feel. The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the tourism industry but and at Local Surf Maroc we have had to make some difficult decisions. They are decisions that we feel will allow the surf camp to move forwards in the coming months and years.

COVID-19 has changed the world, in obvious and not so obvious ways. As lockdowns and travel restrictions continue around the world, Morocco included, we continue to see the world change around us in unexpected ways.

You've booked your flight to Agadir, found the perfect surf camp in Tamaraght, arranged the airport transfer, but the night before you travel you're standing in front of your suitcase with only a vague notion of what to pack.
