Program
You’ll learn the fundamentals from ocean awareness and paddling technique to take-offs and wave selection, all in a supportive, small-group setting. Each group is split by level, with a maximum of 6 surfers per coach, ensuring personalized attention and measurable improvement every session.
The coaches monitor surf conditions daily to place you in the right waves for your level, keeping the experience both safe and progression-focused.
This beginner surf coaching experience is for those who ready to catch the surfing bug in Morocco. Let the surf coaches at Local Surf Maroc guide you through every step of surfing: from standing up on the board to riding the waves on your own. They split groups according to ability and progression and keep the group sizes small with no more than six students per instructor to make sure your experience is personalized.
The surf coaches review surf conditions daily and on the spot to make sure the conditions are suitable for your progression and for you to get the most out of every surf session. Surf coach Rachid demonstrates how to stand on a surfboard for a beginner at Banana Beach, Taghazout Bay, Aourir, Morocco. You will be sure to learn valuable surf theory and become comfortable with the basics, laying the foundation for you to take your surfing further in the future.
While they take surfing seriously, this is not a boot camp. Any surf lesson or activity can be skipped and an alternative activity arranged (please note some charges may apply). Your stay with them is your experience, and they aim to make sure you leave Morocco with the best memories. At Local Surf Maroc, the focus is progression and this requires a personalized approach for each level they teach.
Surf instructors check the conditions the night before and make a prediction on what time is best to surf and which surf spot is likely to be working at the beginner-surfing level. This is to ensure that you get the most out of each surf session. The times listed below are therefore tentative and subject to change as no prediction can be 100 percent accurate.
