Morocco Surf Spot Map

Morocco is the first place you hit heading south from Europe, seperated from Europe by the Straights of Gibraltar. Morocco is the land of the pointbreak, and the coastline around the Agadir area is riddled with spots. This ensures surfing uncrowded waves. If you are struggling to get waves in a crowded lineup in Morocco you are a fool, and a lazy one at that. There are empty waves around every corner and during the winter months they are all firing.

Morocco is best surfed in late autum through until march, the rest of the year can be pretty uneventful. When the big swells run down the coast the pointbreaks come alive and our advice is to head to Agadir. Althought there is not any surf in Agadir it is an easy place to get to and has world class waves a short drive north. Anchor Point as a must if you are going to surf Morocco, when it is on it can break up to a kilometre - talk about jelly legs! If you are adventerous (and very well prepared and organised) then head south from Agadir in a 4WD and discover some classic waves and maybe become the only person ever to have surfed there - that is something to fire the imagination.

If you are serious about surfing and travel you will need a decent surfing guide book. Take a look at the Stormrider Guide Europe, Stormrider Guide North America and the World Stormrider Guide books. We cannot emphasise just how good these books are.
