Morocco\u2026 the land of deserts, tagines, souks, and spice markets. For surfers, though, it is the place to go for year-round sunshine and access to some of the most beautiful point breaks you\u2019ve ever seen.<\/strong><\/p>\n Travelling solo, I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect. Especially whether it would be safe for women or if the surf conditions would be too advanced for me. I shouldn\u2019t have been worried; the country stole a bit of my heart, and I can understand why so many expats have fallen so in love with the lifestyle that they have made a new life out there.<\/p>\n words:<\/strong> Scar Lee<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anchors-achraf-el-hezzame-TT3_Vl_do68-unsplash.jpg” title_text=”anchors-achraf-el-hezzame-TT3_Vl_do68-unsplash” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Surf In September, the water was definitely warm enough to surf in just a swimming costume, but sometimes when the fog rolled over, it could get a bit chilly, so it was useful to have a full wetsuit provided by the surf school.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mostapha-abidour-h9L1GfDgp0s-unsplash.jpg” title_text=”mostapha-abidour-h9L1GfDgp0s-unsplash” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Where to Stay On the beach, we felt relaxed and looked after; it was safe enough to leave phones on our towels, as there was always a watchful eye from the surf camp staff.<\/p>\n The instructors were well-known at all of our surf spots, which commanded them respect in the lineup and made us feel part of the scene.<\/p>\n Staying at a surf camp made it easy to meet people.

The focus is surfing, whether you\u2019re a beginner catching your first wave or an advanced surfer seeking Morocco\u2019s best breaks.<\/p>\n They offer diverse surf packages designed for all levels: Surf & Stay for independent surfers, Surf & Coaching for progression with expert instructors, and Surf & Yoga for those who want balance on and off the board.<\/p>\n In Taghazout, guests can choose between two unique retreats: Seaside Hotel, a boutique-style property with modern coastal design, and Taghazout Villa, their original surf house with a laidback social atmosphere.<\/p>\n For those seeking pure wellness, their Villa Surya in Imiouaddar offers a private setting dedicated to yoga and meditation. You should also check out Dfrost\u2019s Bohemian Berber Bar \u2018BBB\u2019, Kitchen Club Restaurant & Bar, and their newest beach hangout at Anchor Point.<\/p>\n dfrostsurfandyoga.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/el_modal_popup][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/surfgirlmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Photo-Simone-Fishcer-1.png” alt=”Girls ready for surfing at Amayour Surf & Yoga” title_text=”Girls ready for surfing at Amayour Surf & Yoga” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”_initial” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][el_modal_popup modal_id=”Female Surfer’s Guide To Morocco” trigger_button_text=”MORE HERE ” modal_title=”Female Surfer’s Guide To Morocco: Amayour Surf & Yoga” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Amayour Surf & Yoga, Taghazout, Tamraght, and Tamazirt<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n At Amayour Surf & Yoga you will start your day with rooftop yoga, fuel up on fresh Moroccan meals, and hit the beach with ISA-certified coaches who know exactly where to find the best swell for your level.<\/p>\n Amayour now spans three locations: Taghazout, Tamraght, and Tamazirt, each with its own unique atmosphere. Tamazirt\u2019s Mountain Lodge, with a pool and dedicated yoga shala, is ideal for retreat weeks, while the Taghazout and Tamraght houses remain the most popular for surf stays.<\/p>\n Across all locations, food is a highlight: think fresh, nourishing breakfasts and vibrant Moroccan dinners served family-style, where guests come together after a day of waves and yoga. The heart of Amayour is the incredible team \u2013 locals and internationals who bring the spaces to life with knowledge, laughter, dancing, and hospitality that goes beyond the ordinary.<\/p>\n This year, Amayour are celebrating 10 years of bringing guests together over a mutual love of surf, yoga, sunshine and amazing food, and there\u2019s never been a better time to stay.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/span>Lots of surfers come to Morocco for its world-class point breaks, but there\u2019s something for everyone, with some fast-moving beach breaks to pose a challenge for those who want it. Beginners in my surf group were able to learn easily in the whitewater, while those of us who had more experience were guided out back to the best spots for the sets rolling in. The instructors even scored a few barrels (or so they claimed).<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/span>Going with a surf camp was the right call. The instructors were all locals, so they really knew the best surf spots, and were keen to make sure they found the best waves every day for each person\u2019s level.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/span>Despite being a Muslim country, Morocco\u2019s surf towns are fairly laid-back. Around Taghazout and Tamraght, shorts and vest tops are fine, and women are welcome to surf in bikinis. Just remember to cover up when heading into caf\u00e9s or travelling outside surf areas out of respect.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/strong>Taghazout:<\/strong> Morocco\u2019s surf capital is lively, full of surf shops and camps.
Tamraght:<\/strong> A quieter town, 10 minutes drive from Taghazout with great coffee and charm.
Imsouane:<\/strong> Long, dreamy right-handers perfect for intermediates.
Essaouira:<\/strong> Windy and artsy, a mix of surf and kite culture.
Safi:<\/strong> Heavy reef breaks, super fun for more advanced surfers.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/span>Morocco\u2019s coast has so much appeal, whether you\u2019re looking for barrels or mellow peeling waves, and there\u2019s a warm atmosphere that goes far beyond the surf.<\/p>\nMint Surf<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
