Can you tell me more about the climate and best time of year to visit?
Morocco’s south coast offers approx. 300 days of sunshine. During the Summer (May to September) the waves are perfect for beginners and intermediates, with long sunny days and fun, warm water surfing. From October to April, the big waves which Morocco is famous for, come in from the Atlantic Coast. Even during this season there are plenty of locations offering smaller waves for beginners and less experienced surfers.
Are surf classes organised by different group levels?
Yes, our instructors will organise the classes so that beginners, intermediates and experienced surfers feel comfortable and are in waves suitable to their level of experience. We want you to feel safe, continue to learn and have fun! For experienced surfers, you can book a surf guide to take you to the many spots we have along Morocco’s south coast.
Do I need to book the surfing and yoga in advance?
You can book both the surfing and yoga when you arrive, subject to availability of instructors. It would be helpful if you let us know your preferences and personal details (eg. height for wetsuit hire etc) in advance.
Can you tell me more about the yoga?
Yoga classes are held on our roof terrace, at the beach, or at a nearby yoga studio. For surfers the classes will be geared towards poses to aide your pre/ post surfing sessions. The morning class is a dynamic, energising work out. The afternoon is a more gentle, restorative class. Classes can be tailored to all levels of yoga practice from total beginners to more advanced. The beachfront location, ocean air and sunsets make for a very special yoga practice.
Are there any cafes, restaurants or shops nearby?
Yes, we are next door to Babakoul, a Moroccan inspired cafe/ restaurant which is open all day and serves mint teas, coffees, pizzas, lassis and waffles. There’s also a popular vegetarian/ vegan café, Let’s Be, within a few minutes walk offering colourful and vibrant dishes. There are also many others in Tamraght, and neighbouring villages Aourir and Taghazout.
Can you tell me more about the local currency and cash needed?
The local currency is Moroccan dirhams (dhs). There are ATMs at all international airports, and nearby in Aourir. Most small outlets and souks prefer smaller notes, something to bear in mind if you take large notes out of a cash machine.
