Taghazout is Morocco's best-known surf town: a small fishing village north of Agadir with a string of right-hand point breaks on its doorstep. A surf camp in Taghazout bundles accommodation, lessons or guiding and board rental into one price, so your days are about surfing, not logistics.
Because the town draws surfers of every level, most Taghazout surf camps split guests into beginner, intermediate and advanced groups and pick the spot that suits each group on the day. Shared meals, rooftop terraces and group sessions also make a camp the easiest way to meet people if you're travelling solo.
Taghazout faces the open Atlantic and picks up long-period North Atlantic swell, which the rocky points along this coast turn into long, peeling right-handers. Within a short drive there are sandy beaches for learning, mellow points for improvers and heavier reef and point breaks for experienced surfers, so there is almost always somewhere with good waves.
A typical day at a Taghazout surf camp starts with breakfast and a surf check, then one or two sessions timed around the tide, since most spots here work best at a particular stage of it. That local knowledge is a big part of what a camp's instructors and guides bring.
You don't need any experience to join. Beginner lessons start in the whitewater on the sandy beaches around the village before moving on to unbroken waves, and board and wetsuit are included in almost every package. A 3/2mm wetsuit is comfortable most of the year, and 5 to 7 days gives you enough sessions to see real progress.

October to April
Water temperature
18-22°C, wetsuit recommended year-round

Busy in peak season, especially at Anchor Point
Taghazout's main surf season runs from October to April, when consistent northwest swells and reliable offshore winds produce the town's best waves.
The waves are smaller and gentler from June to September, which suits complete beginners and anyone who prefers warmer water and quieter lineups, even though the town itself stays busy with tourists year-round.
Beginner
Taghazout Bay's sandy beach break produces small, forgiving whitewater waves, making it the go-to spot for first lessons.
Intermediate
Hash Point and Panorama are consistent right-hand point breaks that reward surfers who can already catch and ride unbroken waves.
Advanced
Anchor Point and Killer Point are fast, powerful point breaks for experienced surfers comfortable in bigger swell and crowded lineups.
