Morocco is not only the boundless Sahara desert, delicious couscous and ancient ksaras. In the cognitive journey around the country, you can add a pinch of new sensations that you certainly will never experience, living in a noisy metropolis. The whole of Europe recognized long ago that Morocco is one of the best places for surfing, and it does not matter whether you are a beginner, an amateur or a real professional - here you will like every guest.
What place for surfing in Morocco you would not choose, you definitely will not be disappointed. Atlantic coast of hot country offers services of schools and camps, rent of boards and wetsuits, as well as dozens of exciting water activities.
When do I go for a drive?
Those who are still on the board uncertainly and sluggishly, surfing in Morocco is better to come in the summer season. The sea is worried during this period is not strong, that a few will secure a walk on the waves, and it is not so terrible for the first time to become on the board. By the way, in the summer the spots are empty, because the peak of Morocco's popularity among skilful athletes falls on the winter months.
You can ride the waves all year round, bypassing the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. During this period, life in the country freezes, so it's better to come before or after it.
Schools and camps
Curb the wave you are always ready to help professionals from special schools and camps for beginners surfers. Here are those - even a dime a dozen. To find out where the surfing school or camp is, ask at the hotel or on any beach .
Note that the school and the personal instructor are not a cheap pleasure. One day will cost you at least $ 50 (this includes the rent of a board and a special wetsuit). Generally in Morocco, surfing schools are not so expensive, if compared with other countries. Experienced instructors will explain the basics and teach them how to stand properly on the board. Instructions in almost all schools and camps are conducted in English and French. However, do not be discouraged if you are not at all "Speech English" and generally "Parle France"; for exclusively Russian-speaking guests there is a school-camp SurfTownMorocco.
Noisy Agadir - the best place for surfing
The coastline of Morocco stretches for a thousand kilometers, but the best places for surfing are in a relatively small area to the north of Agadir - the historical center of the Sous region. Qualitative spots of the coast will taste like a capricious surfer. The spots Killer, Boiler and Anka Point were recognized as one of the best in the whole world.
Undoubtedly, the best place for surfing in Morocco is Agadir , a city of parties and youth. There are a lot of bars and restaurants, and at night dozens of noisy discos open. In Agadir there is no traditional medina, that is, the old city, so it is considered ideal for a tourist who wants to tear himself away in full, and is not too interested in the sights of the country.

Surfing in quiet Essaouira
Dimensional rest guarantees the port city of Essaouira , which is located 170 kilometers west of the capital . The local climate is softer than in Agadir, and the winds blow almost all the time. For 15 euros you can rent a wetsuit and board and ride yourself in pleasure. There are also schools here, it's better to learn about them on the beach. By the way, it is the schools that can organize trips to remote, not very large spots where you will feel alone with the wave.
Night life in Essaouira is absent, and alcohol here is sold without wrapping only on avenue Moulay Youssef, near the gates of the old city of Bab Doukkala. Perhaps, it is because of these shortcomings (and perhaps advantages) that Essaouira is not in great demand among our compatriots. But, if you want to spend a surfing vacation with your family, do not hesitate - go to Essaouira.
