You can also learn while staying in Taghazout, because surf schools drive students to these beaches anyway. The famous points are better once you ride green waves and are comfortable with rocks and a longer paddle.<\/p><p><strong>Atmosphere.<\/strong> Taghazout is the busiest of the villages, with the most cafes, restaurants and surf camps, so there is always somewhere to eat, meet other surfers and plan your day. Tamraght is quieter and more local, popular with guests who stay longer and with yoga-focused stays.<\/p><\/div><div><p><strong>Cost.<\/strong> Both villages have surf camps and guesthouses. A simple guesthouse costs about \u20ac15 to \u20ac30 per night with the room only, while a surf camp week with lessons, meals and equipment usually costs \u20ac400 to \u20ac900, depending on the season and the package. Always check what is included before you compare prices. See <a href=\"https:\/\/chilloutsurf.com\/where-to-stay-in-taghazout\/\">where to stay in Taghazout<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>Getting around.<\/strong> Taghazout, Tamraght and neighbouring Aourir are all within a 10 to 15 minute taxi ride of each other. From Agadir airport, Taghazout is about 30 to 45 minutes by transfer or taxi (<a href=\"https:\/\/chilloutsurf.com\/how-to-get-to-taghazout-travel-guide\/\">how to get to Taghazout<\/a>). Aourir, also called Banana Village, is a working town a little further south with a beginner-friendly beach break and a more local feel. Agadir is a big city with more shops but less surf culture.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"guide-band\" id=\"best-time\"><div class=\"shell\"><p class=\"guide-eyebrow\">Travel info<\/p><h2>Best time to surf in Tamraght and Taghazout in 2026<\/h2><p>The surf season runs from October to April, with the biggest swell from December to February.
