Best surf camp in Taghazout: what really matters

Taghazout has many surf camps, and the best one is the one that fits your level, your budget and the time you have. Photos and ratings look similar everywhere, so it helps to compare a few concrete things before you book.

This guide shows what to check, what a week costs, how long to stay and what a normal day looks like. It also explains how ChillOut Surf Camp answers each point, so you can compare us with any other camp on your list.

How much does a surf camp in Taghazout cost?

A surf camp week in Taghazout usually costs between €400 and €900 per person, with the room, meals, daily lessons and equipment included. A guesthouse room on its own is about €15 to €30 a night, and a villa about €40 to €150 a night for the whole property, but neither includes lessons or meals.

At ChillOut, a 3-day package is €225 per person, a 5-day package is €375 and the 8-day All Inclusive week is €499. You pay a deposit to book and the rest when you arrive. When you compare prices, always check what is included, because a cheap room with no meals or lessons often costs more in the end.

How long should you stay at a surf camp in Taghazout?

For a first surf camp, 3 days is enough to stand up on a wave and see if you like it. 5 days gives you time to progress, and a full week gives you the most time in the water.

  • 3 days (from €225): a short surf break with lessons, meals and a room. No airport pick-up is included.
  • 5 days (from €375): daily lessons, full board, airport pick-up or drop-off and one yoga class.
  • 8 days (from €499): our All Inclusive week with daily lessons, full board, airport pick-up or drop-off, two yoga classes and the trips to Paradise Valley and the Agadir souk.

Which package fits you?

If you want to try surfing without taking a full week off, start with the 3-day package. If you want to see real progress, take the 5-day package. If you have a week, the All Inclusive package is the best value, because it adds yoga and the trips on top of the lessons.

Travelling with children? The Family package covers up to 5 people for 8 days: 2 adults and 3 children under 14, with surf lessons, meals and equipment included.

Surf spots around Taghazout

The coast around Taghazout has some of the best-known waves in Morocco. Anchor Point is the most famous, a long right-hand point break for intermediate to expert surfers. North of the village, Killers, Mysteries and Boilers are powerful reef breaks for advanced surfers. Hash Point is a softer right-hand point right beside the village, and Panoramas is the closest quality wave to the centre.

You do not need to choose a spot yourself. Our instructors pick the place each day to match the swell and your level, and transfers to the surf spots are included in the packages that have lessons.

When is the best time for a surf camp in Taghazout?

The surf season in Taghazout runs from October to April, with the biggest waves from December to February. From May to September the waves are smaller, which suits beginners.

The water is between 16 and 24 degrees Celsius over the year, so you wear a wetsuit all year round. A thicker one is useful in the winter months, and our packages include the rental. Our guide to a winter surf camp in Taghazout explains what to expect in those months.
