The Secret to Picking the Perfect Surfcamp Morocco (Beyond Just Waves!)
Okay, so you want awesome waves – that’s a given! But a great surfcamp in Morocco is much more than just a good surf spot. It’s about the feeling, the people, the food, and how smooth everything feels. We’ve seen it all, and here’s what you absolutely need to check for to make sure your surf holiday is truly amazing, not just ‘okay’.
Don’t Get Tricked! What to Ask About Surf Lessons
If you’re coming to learn to surf Morocco style, the lessons are key. But not all lessons are created equal!
Small Groups: Are class sizes small? Bigger groups mean less one-on-one attention for you. You need personalized tips!
Qualified Coaches: Are the coaches certified and truly know their stuff? Look for experienced instructors.
Equipment Quality: Do they have good, well-maintained boards and wetsuits? Old, damaged gear can make learning harder and less safe.
Skill Levels: Do they offer separate lessons for beginners, intermediate, and advanced surfers? You want to be learning with people at your own level
Money Talk: How to Get the Best Value for Your Moroccan Surf Trip
Morocco is known for being affordable, but you still want to get the best bang for your buck on your Moroccan surf trip. Don’t just look at the cheapest number!
What’s Truly Included? Does the price cover accommodation, all meals, airport transfers from Agadir (AGA), equipment rental, and all lessons? Sometimes a slightly higher price upfront saves you a lot more money in hidden costs later.
Hidden Fees: Always ask about any extra charges for excursions, board rental outside lessons, or special activities.
Real Reviews: What do previous guests say about the value? Good, consistent reviews often mean you’re getting excellent value for your money.

Food, Glorious Food: Moroccan food is incredible! Does the camp offer authentic, fresh, and delicious meals? Look for options like tagines, fresh fish, and local vegetables.
Beyond the Surf: Do they offer fun extra trips? Like visits to Paradise Valley, local markets, or yoga sessions? These can truly enrich your surf holiday in Morocco.
Don’t Go Alone (Unless You Want To!): Meeting People at Your Surfcamp
