Italiano Why Taghazout is Morocco's surf capital
The story behind the village: a fishing port that turned into the country's surf hub, and the breaks that built its reputation.

Taghazout is Morocco's surf capital. A handful of right-hand points wrap the cliffs from Anchor Point to Killer, and a 25 minute drive from Agadir airport puts you in the lineup. Best from October to April when the Atlantic winter swells run.
Taghazout is Morocco's surf capital. A handful of right-hand points wrap the cliffs from Anchor Point to Killer, and a 25 minute drive from Agadir airport puts you in the lineup. Best from October to April when the Atlantic winter swells run.
A village built around the lineup: the day starts on the dawn tide and ends with mint tea on a rooftop.
The village stretches 15 km along the coast through Aourir and Tamraght into Taghazout proper, then south to Anchor Point. Beginners learn at Banana Beach, Crocodile, and Hash Point. Intermediates step up at La Source and Mysteries. Anchor Point and Killer fire on big winter swells and draw the international crowd.
Waverick lists every Taghazout partner camp with real prices and live availability. Most weeks book up 3 to 6 weeks ahead between November and March.

From Anchor Point and Killer down to Banana Beach and Hash: spot-by-spot guide with skill level, swell direction, and tide notes.
Read guide →Peak surf is November to March: cleaner groundswells, water 17 to 19 °C, light morning winds. October and April are the sweet spots if you want fewer crowds. Summer is small and onshore, but Banana Beach still works for beginners.
Agadir Al Massira (AGA) is the closest airport, 25 minutes by car. Marrakech Menara (RAK) is the bigger hub: 3 hours by road, around 350 MAD for a grand taxi, 100 MAD on the Supratours bus. Camps almost always include the airport pickup in week packages.
From €48 / 3 nights at Original Surf Morocco in Tamraght. Tagine for two with mint tea on a Taghazout rooftop: €15.
Taghazout is a small dry village (no alcohol sold in shops, but most surf camps have a beer fridge). Bring small dirham notes for the local taxis. The Sunday souk in Aourir is worth a flat day. Friday is the rest day for many local shapers, so plan board repairs around it.

See Taghazout Surf CampsNovember to March is the peak: consistent winter groundswells, glassy mornings, water 17 to 19 °C. October and April are quieter shoulder months. Summer (June to August) is small and crowded with learners on the beach breaks.
Yes. Banana Beach, Crocodile, and Hash Point are soft beach breaks with sand-bottom takeoff zones. Every camp in the village runs beginner lessons. Anchor Point and Killer are the advanced points and stay out of bounds until you can paddle into a chest-high wave.
25 minutes by road (about 20 km). Most camps include the AGA transfer in a week package. A grand taxi runs around 250 to 350 MAD; the cheaper bus option takes 1 hour with a change in Agadir.
3/2 mm for the peak winter months (December to February) when water dips to 16 to 17 °C. A spring suit or 2 mm shorty works from April to October. Camps rent everything; daily rental is 4 to 7 € depending on the camp.
Taghazout village is the loud, social option (cafes, board shops, the famous tagine restaurants). Tamraght is quieter, 5 km south, and closer to Banana Beach. Aourir is the family-village option. Use the Tamraght vs. Taghazout guide to pick.
Beach breaks, year-round trade winds, and the quiet village of Sidi Kaouki just down the coast. Essaouira is where surf meets wind sports and Gnaoua music sets the evening tempo.
Africa’s longest right-hand wave wraps the bay for up to 800 metres. Cathedral Point sits next door for the heavier days. A tiny fishing village in between, two hours north of Taghazout.
The wind island. 150 km of Atlantic coast, sand-bottom beach breaks in the north, reef setups around El Cotillo, and trade winds that almost never quit.
