7 Days on the Agadir–Taghazout Surf Coast

A week on this coast is enough to surf a different break every day and still spend an afternoon doing nothing. The villages sit 40 km north of Agadir along one road, so you pick a base and move very little.

Where to base yourself

• Taghazout — the centre of gravity. Surf camps, coffee, the point breaks within walking distance. Busy in winter.
• Tamraght — five minutes south, quieter, cheaper, close to Banana beach for beginners.
• Aourir — a working Moroccan town with a market and fewer tourists.
• Agadir — only if you want hotels, a long flat beach and nightlife; the surf is 30 minutes north.

Day by day

• Day 1 — land at Al Massira, transfer to the coast, sunset at Hash Point. Fixed prices on the Agadir airport transfer page.
• Day 2 — Anchor Point or Panoramas depending on swell; the Taghazout surf guide maps each break.
• Day 3 — Banana beach or Devil's Rock for a softer session, then argan oil co-op in Tamraght.
• Day 4 — Paradise Valley: palm gorge, natural pools, an hour inland. A proper rest day.
• Day 5 — Imsouane, 80 km north, for the longest right-hander in Morocco. Leave at dawn.
• Day 6 — Agadir: the marina, the kasbah viewpoint and the fish grills at the port. See the Agadir page.
• Day 7 — last dawn session, then the airport.

Boards and transfers

Board bags do not fit in a grand taxi, and the coastal bus does not take them reliably. Most surfers book a private transfer with a van or a roof-rack vehicle — the Agadir airport to Taghazout guide compares every option with real prices.

Extending the week

Two more days buys you Mirleft and Legzira to the south, or Essaouira three hours north. For a full Morocco loop, see the 10-day itinerary.

What to know before you come

Water is 17–20°C in winter — a 3/2 wetsuit is standard. The coast road is single carriageway and slow at weekends. Friday afternoons are quiet in the villages; plan shopping around them.
