Local Knowledge

Taghazout is a small fishing village — respect the local culture and dress modestly in town.

Surf houses are the best accommodation — cheap, social, and right on the breaks.

The swell season is October to April — summer is flat.

Fresh fish from the harbour in Agadir is incredible and very cheap.

Hire a local guide for your first session to learn the lineup.
