For years Morocco was only known for its stunning desert, but its rich culture, beautiful beaches and waves have quickly made it the world’s new favorite surf destination. The country is blessed with Atlantic coast line of over 2500 Kilometers containing a wide and rich range of surfing destinations both for novices, as well as the professional surfers. If you are into finding the waves to catch or if you are up to a new cultural experience, finding surf in Morocco will be a thrilling experience. 
 
Moroccan surfing is not only favored for its waves’ consistency. The waters specially those of the Atlantic Ocean are perfect most especially in the period between October and April and it is best that surfers go on board during the said period.

Taghazout, Anchor Point, and Imessouane are some of the most famous surfing destinations in Morocco where waves are considered the best in the world. These spots give long ‘barreling’ waves which is a greater advantage especially with learner surfers as they could practice while the professional can look at different ways he/she could maneuver. 
 
However, apart from the stunning surf Morocco is a country that will diversify your vacation immensely due to its history. When the day of surfing has ended, one can enjoy shopping in traditional bazaars or taste the exquisite local food, visit a hammam if desired.

The native Berber people are typical hospitalletes, and receiving them adds another dimension to your surf holiday; it’s not just a beach break, it’s a cultural exchange. 
 
As such, Morocco is also ideal for learners in surfing. Surf schools and camps are abundant along the coast with a special concentration in the region of Taghazout. These schools are manned by experienced trainers who see to it that you are rightly started in the safest manner possible. The lack of large and challenging waves, but constant overseeing of an instructor makes Morocco one of the best locations for beginners.
