Where the lessons happen
Lessons run on the mellow beach breaks between Agadir and Taghazout — spots like Banana Beach and the sandy stretches near Tamraght, chosen each morning for the day's swell and tide. Unlike the famous point breaks further north (Anchor Point, Killer Point), these beaches have soft sandy bottoms and gentle, forgiving whitewater: exactly what a first-timer needs. Your instructor picks the spot, so you never arrive to find the waves too big or the tide wrong.
What a two-hour lesson looks like
The first fifteen minutes happen on the sand: how to lie on the board, paddle efficiently, and the pop-up — the single movement that gets you standing. Then you hit the whitewater with the instructor pushing you into waves and correcting your stance after every ride. By the final half hour most beginners are paddling into small waves unassisted. Semi-private and private sessions simply mean more waves per person and feedback after every single ride.
When to come and what to bring
The prime learn-to-surf season is September to April, when the Atlantic sends consistent swell — but summer's smaller waves are genuinely perfect for first lessons and children. Mornings usually offer the cleanest conditions before the sea breeze arrives. Bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen; boards, wetsuits and leashes are provided, and most schools have lockers or watched storage for your things.
FAQ
€30 for a 2-hour group lesson, €45 semi-private (2–3 people), €55 fully private. These are the fixed, fair prices for the Taghazout–Tamraght area — board, wetsuit and certified instructor always included.
None at all. Lessons start on the sand with the basics — paddling, the pop-up, safety — then you move into whitewater waves. Most beginners stand up in their first session.
