What's actually included in a surf camp week
The standard format in Taghazout is seven nights with six surf days. Mornings start with breakfast on a rooftop, then a van run to whichever break is working — the instructors check the swell forecast the night before. Beginners spend the first days on the sandy beach breaks at Panorama or Crocro; intermediates head to Banana Point or Devil's Rock. Lunch is usually a picnic on the beach, and you're back by late afternoon.
Most mid-range camps include airport transfers from Agadir, full board and all equipment. What catches people out: alcohol (the village is dry apart from a couple of licensed spots), photo packages, and the single-room supplement, which adds €150 – €200 at most camps. Ask me and I'll flag the extras before you commit.
Taghazout or Tamraght?
They're five minutes apart and share the same breaks, so the choice is about atmosphere. Taghazout is the busier village — more cafés, more camps, a bit of a scene around the skate park and the seafront. Tamraght, just south, is quieter and slightly cheaper, and it's where most of the surf-and-yoga retreats have set up. If you want evenings with other surfers and a choice of restaurants, pick Taghazout. If you want calm, rooftops and early nights before dawn patrol, look at Tamraght.
When to book, and how far ahead
The prime swell season runs October to March, and the good camps fill up fast — for Christmas, New Year and February half-term I'd message me two months ahead. Summer has smaller waves, lower prices and warm water; it's genuinely good for beginners, even if the experienced crowd waits for winter. Send me your dates and your level (be honest — it changes which camp I suggest) and I'll come back with two or three options with live prices.

Yes — the sandy beach breaks south of the village are ideal for learning, and every camp runs beginner groups with qualified instructors. Winter swells are powerful at the point breaks, but beginners are always taken to gentle beaches.
October to March for consistent Atlantic swells. June to August brings smaller, friendlier waves, cheaper camp prices and water around 20°C — a good trade for beginners and families.
Most camps prefer seven nights in high season, but several offer 3 to 5-night stays, and single lessons (€35 – €80) are easy to arrange any day. Message me with your dates and I'll tell you what's possible.
