Surfing in Taghazout

The journey begins with a scenic drive from Agadir airport to Taghazout. As you approach the village, the Atlantic Ocean stretches out before you, its waves beckoning. After checking into one of the many surf camps or cozy guesthouses, it’s time to hit the beach. The first day is all about getting acquainted with the local surf spots. Panoramas Beach is an excellent starting point for beginners and intermediate surfers alike. The warm-up session allows you to get a feel for the waves and shake off any travel fatigue.

Anchor Point is one of Taghazout’s most famous surf spots, known for its long right-hand point break that can produce rides of up to 500 meters on a good day. The morning starts early with a hearty breakfast at a beachfront café, followed by a short walk to Anchor Point. The swell is consistent, and the waves are perfect for both seasoned surfers and those looking to challenge themselves. After an exhilarating morning session, take some time to explore the village’s narrow streets lined with surf shops and local eateries.

On day three, embark on a surf safari to Desert Point, located just south of Taghazout. This spot offers uncrowded waves and stunning desert scenery. The journey itself is an adventure, as you traverse rugged terrain and pass through small Berber villages. Once at Desert Point, the waves are pristine and powerful, providing an unforgettable surfing experience. After a day of riding waves and soaking in the sun, head back to Taghazout for a relaxing evening under the stars.

Combining yoga with surfing is a popular trend in Taghazout, offering surfers a way to enhance their flexibility and balance. Start your fourth day with a sunrise yoga session overlooking the ocean at Hash Point. The gentle stretches and mindful breathing prepare your body for another day on the waves. Hash Point itself offers consistent breaks suitable for all levels of surfers. The afternoon can be spent lounging on the beach or exploring nearby attractions such as Paradise Valley or the bustling Souk El Had market in Agadir.

The final day in Taghazout is bittersweet but filled with anticipation for one last surf session. Choose your favorite spot—whether it’s Panoramas Beach, Anchor Point, or another hidden gem discovered during your stay—and savor every moment on the water. As you ride your last wave back to shore, take in the breathtaking views of the coastline one last time. After packing up your gear and saying goodbye to new friends made along the way, there’s still time for one last meal at a local café before heading back to Agadir.
