Wednesday evening at Zen Surf Morocco is a special time to refine your skills. It is the night of our social barbecue, followed by a key moment of your surfing holiday: the photo and video analysis session. In a friendly atmosphere, our coaches project videos of your sessions from the week so that everyone can visualise their progress and correct any faults.

Guided by our instructors, you will learn to analyse your own surfing: your take-off technique, body placement, and wave reading. The objective of this session is to offer you a different perspective to better understand body dynamics in surfing. It provides vital feedback on your technical ability and your position on the board—an effective tool for understanding mistakes and speeding up your progression. Above all, it is a moment of authentic connection where advice is shared, laughter is heard, and bonds are formed between all the enthusiasts at the surf house. This is the true spirit of a surf camp in Morocco at Zen Surf!

Leren surfen in Marokko

The Taghazout region, north of Agadir in Morocco, is recognised as one of the best places in the world to learn to surf. Our unique coastal geography guarantees surfing all year round, thanks to a combination of “swell magnet” spots that pick up even the smallest waves, as well as sheltered spots perfect for when the swell is more significant.

This combination of exceptional factors ensures easy waves for beginner surfers, who can learn and progress in total safety without dangerous currents. However, it also offers consistent waves for intermediate surfers wishing to improve their technique. At Zen Surf Morocco, our experienced instructors guide beginner and intermediate surfers every day to the best surf spots in the Taghazout region, based on the current conditions.

Your surf lessons in Taghazout

When is the best time to take surf lessons in Taghazout?

Thanks to Morocco’s climate, you can learn to surf all year round. Beginners particularly enjoy the period from April to October for its gentle waves, while winter (November to March) offers ideal conditions for intermediate levels seeking more consistency.

Is equipment included in the price of the lessons?

Yes, absolutely. For every surf lesson, we provide a board suited to your level (safety foam board or hardboard) as well as a neoprene wetsuit in your size.

Do you offer surf lessons for complete beginners?

That is our speciality! Our surf school in Taghazout welcomes beginners who have never even touched a board. We start with the basics: safety, the pop-up (take-off), and balance in the white water.

What is the minimum age to enrol a child in the surf school?

We welcome children from the age of 6. For those under 12, we recommend our private surf lessons to ensure safe supervision and maximum pedagogical attention.

How many students are there per instructor?

To guarantee your safety and rapid progression, we limit our groups to a maximum of 6 students per instructor. This is Zen Surf Morocco’s commitment to high-quality coaching.

Do I need to know how to swim to take surf lessons?

Yes, it is essential to be comfortable in the water and know how to swim. Even though beginner lessons often take place where you can stand, maritime safety remains our absolute priority.

Where do the surf lessons take place?

We don’t stay on just one beach. Every morning, our instructors choose the best surf spot in Taghazout based on the tide, swell, and wind to provide you with the best possible surfing conditions.

How long does a typical surf session last?

A lesson session lasts approximately 2.5 hours, followed by supervised practice time in the afternoon for those who wish to spend the full day with us.
