Where to start
Four questions before you book
Answer these first. Then the packages, houses and lessons pages detail the WaveSky offer.
01
Where to surf?
Taghazout bay concentrates accessible beachbreaks and pointbreaks. Tamraght often suits beginners better. Agadir is mainly the airport. Imsouane and other spots exist further north, but they are not our base.
02
When to go?
You can surf all year. Winter brings more swell for progression or advanced surfing. Spring and summer are often gentler for learning. Season-by-season detail is in our dedicated article.
03
Camp, lessons or solo?
A surf camp bundles accommodation, meals, lessons and logistics. Lessons alone suit you if you already have a bed. An independent trip means gear, transport and reading conditions every day.
04
How many nights?
4 nights give a taste. 6 nights are the most chosen rhythm. 10 to 15 nights leave real room to progress. WaveSky rates are then compared on the packages page.
Our known ground
Taghazout and Tamraght, not all of Morocco
WaveSky runs two surf houses in the bay: Taghazout for village energy and pointbreaks, Tamraght for a calmer pace and often gentler beachbreaks. We do not claim a camp in Imsouane or central Agadir. Agadir remains the air gateway, about 40-50 minutes away.
- Taghazout surf camp: social, ocean-view rooftop
- Tamraght surf camp: calm, ideal for a first week
- Arrival transfer from Agadir included

Useful landmarks
What surfing Morocco means here
Planning a surf trip to Morocco often means wanting an accessible coast, clear coaching and a simple stay rhythm. Here we mainly talk about Taghazout bay: that is where WaveSky houses, surfs and teaches every day.
Surf camp or independent travel
A surf camp stay suits you if you want lessons, board, wetsuit, meals and a bed without organising every morning. An independent trip can look cheaper on paper, but needs more time for gear, transfers and spot choice. Both approaches are valid: choose by energy, not price alone.
Starting honestly
Being able to swim is essential. Nobody can guarantee you will stand up in a fixed number of days. A limited ratio (with us, 5 surfers max per coach), softboards and a spot chosen each morning for the swell do make learning clearer.
Budget: the camp is only part of it
The WaveSky rate covers accommodation, full board, lessons, yoga, gear and the arrival transfer. Add flights, insurance, extras (activities, drinks) and a little buffer. For package detail and per-night prices, open the packages page rather than a second tariff table here.
Priority and safety
Surf priority rules make more sense in the water with a coach than as a list alone. Watch, communicate, stay in your zone. Team instructions come before forcing a wave that is too big.

FAQ
What people ask us most often
I've never surfed — is that a problem?
Not at all! Groups are formed by real level, with 5 surfers max per coach, on gentle sandy-bottom waves. Most beginners are standing up within the first few days.
I already surf — do you offer suitable coaching?
Yes. The region has 25+ spots (beachbreaks, reefs and pointbreaks). For intermediate and advanced surfers we move from lessons to guiding: spot choice by swell, positioning, reading the peak, shortboard or longboard technique.
How much surfing per day?
Every day: a 2-hour coached lesson at the best spot of the day, then free surfing in the afternoon with the gear to practise what you've learned. The one-hour yoga class happens in the morning on the rooftop.
Do I need to bring gear, towels or bed sheets?
No, everything is provided: boards and wetsuits for surfing, bath towels and sheets in the rooms. Just bring your swimsuit, sunscreen and good mood.
