7 Day Surf Coaching in Tamraght, Morocco

Facilities

Sidi Mouja Surf Camp is located in a village called Tamraght, a Berber fishing village 14 kilometers north of Agadir City and 60 kilometers south of Imesouane. Surrounded by mountains, it offers a picturesque landscape and several reefs and beach breaks suitable for surfers of all levels, from beginners to more experienced.

Conveniently located 40 minutes from Agadir international airport, it is only a three to four-hour flight from most central European cities. It’s the closest place for any European surfer to get year-round warm water, perfect waves, and a unique cultural experience.

Agadir is a 20-minute drive from Tamraght. There, you can find everything you would find in any European City. There are ATMs, supermarkets, car hire services, pharmacies, a hospital, restaurants, cafés, bars, nightclubs, and much more.

Morocco

Morocco is an all-year-round destination for great surf and great weather. The summer months (April to October) see small to medium swells with surf mostly on the beaches and reefs on the more exposed northwest coast. This is a great time for anyone looking for fun, uncrowded, warm water surf.

There are also some bigger days during this time for those looking for something more challenging.

During the winter months, the waves that have made Morocco famous come to life. There is a huge variety of surf in this area of Morocco. There are not many places like it in the world. The region has something for everyone, from ideal beginner waves to challenging reef ledges.

Intermediates and those new to the sport should not be put off or worried. Due to the nature of the coastline, there is almost always somewhere sheltered and manageable, and those looking for something challenging won’t be disappointed either.

Morocco is blessed with well over 300 days of sunshine a year. Between the months of November to February, there is a small chance of rain, although statistically, it is unlikely. Your choice of wetsuit comes down to personal choice and tolerance. The best all-rounder is a 3/2mm full suit.

Alcoholic drinks

Although Islam forbids the consumption of alcohol by Muslims, alcoholic drinks can be legally served and sold throughout the country. Morocco even produces its own range of wines and beers. Alcohol is not sold in Tamraght, but can be bought in Agadir. Sidi Mouja Surf Morocco can arrange taxis for all guests who wish to buy alcohol from Agadir.

Tamraght and the surrounding area offer a whole range of other activities. If you need a break from surfing, or for those of you who don’t surf, then horse or camel riding and quad biking are all close by and easily organized.

For those who like to relax, there are miles of empty golden sandy beaches to discover, or you can sunbathe and chill out in the privacy of the house.

There is a great souk (market) in Agadir, which has all the stuff that you would expect in Morocco: an abundance of leather goods, woodwork, ceramics, rugs, carpets, jewelry, and clothing. Non-threatening haggling is part of the fun.

Two day trips to the ancient city of Marrakesh can be organized, and Sidi Mouja Surf Morocco offers personal shopping trips to Marrakesh as well.

The beautiful seaside town of Essaouira is only two and a half hours north, and is a popular one or two-day trip.
