Why winter is the best time to surf in Taghazout
Winter is the main surf season in Morocco. From October to April, storms far out in the Atlantic send long, clean swells to Taghazout, and the famous point breaks like Anchor Point and Killer Point come alive. December to February usually brings the biggest waves of the year.
You do not need big waves to learn. On big days the famous points are for experienced surfers, while our lessons use the sandy beaches around Tamraght, where the waves are smaller and friendlier.
Winter weather in Taghazout
- Sunny days around 18-22°C, often warm enough for a T-shirt at lunch
- Cool evenings and nights around 8-12°C: bring a warm jumper
- Water around 17-18°C from December to February
- Only a few rainy days a month, usually short showers
- The sun sets around 6 pm in December, so evenings start early
What to pack for a winter surf trip
Wetsuits and boards are included in our surf camp packages, so you only need clothes for the land.
- A warm jumper or fleece and a light jacket for the evenings
- Long trousers and socks
- Sunscreen and sunglasses: the winter sun is still strong
- Flip-flops and a hat for the beach
- Your own wetsuit only if you prefer it: a 4/3 mm suits winter best
A winter week at the surf camp
A winter week follows the same rhythm as the rest of the year: 2 hours of surf lessons a day in small groups of 6 students per instructor, yoga sessions and Moroccan meals, depending on your package. On flat days we go on day trips, like Paradise Valley.
Christmas, New Year and school holidays are the busiest weeks, so book 2 to 4 weeks ahead if you want those dates.
