In Morocco, you will find over 300 days of sunshine a year. Between the months of November to February, there is a small chance of rain. The winter months are famous of their waves. During this time of the year, you will have the chance to surf some of the best waves in the world. The summer months from April to October are full of sunny days. You can find small to medium waves the best time for beginners to start surfing.
The water temperature in winter is 16-20°C, in summer it is around 20°C maybe a little bit warmer. We recommend you to surf with a 3/2mm full suit in the wintertime and in the summertime it is possible to surf with a shorty. But it is your personal choice and depends on your tolerance. Most of our surf school wetsuits are 3/2 full suits.

There are small corner shops selling water, soda, crisps, fruit, vegetables, and other essentials. For cigarettes, you must go to a Tabac. There are pharmacies and surf shops as well. You can buy Moroccan handcrafts locally as well.

Beach towel, pen (for arrival/departure form at passport control), swimsuit, sunscreen (we recommend 30+, better is 50 for surfing), sunglasses, flip flops, beach bag, plastic bag (for transport of your wet wetsuit), something warm to wear at night or after surf in the beach (especially in wintertime).

No there isn’t. If you booked a package (Surf Coaching, Surf Guiding or Surf&Yoga), you can come from Tuesday to next Tuesday or Thursday to next Thursday for example. We will arrange a taxi lift which will take you from the Airport to the surf camp, and the same when you’re leaving. In case you’re coming just for a couple of days, we can still arrange a taxi to pick you up at the airport at extra cost.

If you are renting a car, please ensure you have a valid EU driving license that shows you have been driving for at least one year. The law insists that you always carry your license and car hire documents with you when driving in Morocco. Seat belts must be worn at all times and mobile phone use while driving is a finable offense. Police and gendarmerie checkpoints are common along the routes and you must slow down or even stop and wait for them to wave you through. Watch out for police hiding with speed radar. They will stop you and find you an on-the-spot payment. In Morocco, as in Europe driving is on the right. The main roads in the area are relatively new though they are generally narrower and may sometimes have bumps and potholes, especially after periods of rain.

The Moroccan currency is the Dirham. Exchange rates are around 11/€.
Moroccan Dirhams are not always offered at exchange counters outside of Morocco, and the exchange rate is better if you wait until you arrive in Morocco. You will find the exchange facilities and ATMs at the airport. There are also plenty of ATMs in Agadir. The closest ATMs you will find in Aourir.
We do not recommend you bring Traveller’s cheques. They cannot be exchanged at the airport or locally, and there are only a few places in Agadir that will change them (at a disadvantageous exchange rate).

Morocco is a liberal Muslim country, and men and women are welcome to wear shorts and t-shirts. Swimsuits and bikinis are expected on the beach, but nudity is not. Please be respectful to the local people and be discreet when changing. For women, it is advisable when walking around town or the city not to wear anything too revealing. For men, we recommend covering their upper body while walking in the street and driving cars. It can be cold at night, and trousers and jumpers are needed particularly in mid-winter, so we suggest to bring some warm clothes too.

When you enter and leave, you will need to fill out a form with basic information (your name, birth date, occupation and passport details).
Please find your address in Morocco in your Pro Surf Morocco booking confirmation.
