What to Pack for Your First Surf Trip to Morocco

So you’ve booked your surf camp in Morocco—amazing choice! With warm waves, friendly locals, and sunny skies, this is the perfect place to start your surfing journey. But now comes the big question: what should you pack?
Whether you’re joining us in Tamraght or heading up to Imsouane, here’s everything you need to bring.

⸻

1. Surf Gear Essentials

If you’re staying at a surf camp like Adrenalin Surf Maroc, most of your gear will be provided. But here are a few items you might still want to bring:
• Surfboard (optional): Most camps offer rentals, but if you have a soft-top board you love, bring it.
• Wetsuit: A 3/2mm is ideal from October to April. In summer, a shorty or surf swimsuit may be enough.
• Rash guard: Great for extra sun protection or wearing under your wetsuit.
• Swimsuits (x2): Quick-drying and snug-fitting ones are best for surfing.

Pro Tip: We provide all necessary gear at Adrenalin Surf Maroc—including wetsuits and boards—so you can travel light.

2. Clothing for the Moroccan Coast

Morocco’s surf towns like Tamraght and Taghazout are chill, sunny, and breezy. You won’t need anything fancy.
• Light cotton clothing (t-shirts, tank tops)
• Shorts, lightweight pants
• A hoodie or sweater for cooler nights
• Sandals or flip-flops
• One pair of closed shoes (for hikes or camel rides!)
• A lightweight scarf or shawl (handy for sun, sand, or cultural visits)

Weather tip:
Check Weather Spark’s Morocco surf climate guide to pack the right layers.

3. Surf & Sun Protection

You’ll be spending hours in the sun and salt water. Protect yourself with these:
• Zinc sunscreen (reef safe!)
• Aloe vera gel (after-sun)
• Lip balm with SPF
• Surf hat or cap
• Microfiber towel
• Reusable water bottle (stay hydrated!)

⸻

4. Travel Essentials

Don’t forget these basics that make your trip smoother:
• Passport (valid for at least 6 months)
• Travel insurance (check if it covers surf activities!)
• Travel adapter (type C or E/F for Morocco)
• Phone charger and power bank
• Toiletries in a zip bag (eco-friendly if possible)
• Cash in dirhams (MAD) – not all shops take cards

Local tip: ATMs are available in Agadir and Tamraght, but always have some cash for taxis or local markets.

⸻

5. Optional But Useful Extras
• Notebook or travel journal
• Camera or GoPro (and waterproof case!)
• Book or e-reader
• Earplugs (for sleeping or windy days)
• Yoga mat (some camps offer yoga, like ours!)

⸻

What NOT to Pack
• Too many clothes – Morocco’s vibe is super casual.
• Hairdryers or heavy tech – most surf camps have everything you need.
• Expensive jewelry or valuables – better to leave them at home.

The Best Surf Spots in Morocco for Beginners

Morocco is a dream destination for learning to surf: consistent waves, almost year-round sunshine, a relaxed vibe, and a well-established surf culture. If you want to start your surfing journey without being overwhelmed by powerful waves, here are the best spots for beginners along the Moroccan coast.

1. Taghazout – Panorama Beach

Located just a few kilometers north of Agadir, Taghazout is a legendary village for surfers from all over the world. For beginners, Panorama Beach is perfect: long, soft waves and a sandy bottom, ideal for learning safely.

Why it’s great: Easy-to-read waves, very little current, laid-back atmosphere.

2. Tamraght – Devil’s Rock

Just south of Taghazout, Tamraght is an excellent alternative, a little calmer and more local. The Devil’s Rock spot (don’t be put off by the name!) is perfect for your first sessions. You’ll find a right-hand wave that’s accessible at mid-tide, often used for surf lessons.

Why it’s great: Close to surf camps, friendly vibe, accessible on foot from the village.

3. Imsouane – The Bay

Perhaps the most magical spot in Morocco for beginners: Imsouane Bay is famous for its long right-handers that can last up to over a minute. It’s a smooth ride, with clean, regular waves, making it the perfect place to progress quickly.

Why you’ll love it: Super-long waves, perfect for practicing take-offs and turns with no pressure.

4. Agadir – Crocodile Beach

Just a few minutes from Agadir, Crocodile Beach (named for the shape of the rock that overlooks the beach) offers a gentle playground for beginners. The spot is spacious, so you won’t feel cramped next to other surfers.

Note: Great for group lessons, few rocks, ideal for your first few surf days.

5. Sidi Kaouki – Wild and Accessible

A little farther north of Essaouira, Sidi Kaouki is a wide, wild beach, highly valued for its natural beauty. The waves are gentle and easy to catch. Less touristy, it’s the perfect spot for those who want to learn away from the crowds.

Bonus: Raw atmosphere, local surf schools, plenty of space in the water.
