Surfing was brought to Morocco by foreigners (Australian, Californian) around the beginning of the 1980's. Geographically the Moroccan coast is very well exposed to winter swell and has great potential for waves which are appreciated and enjoyed by surf professionals from all over the world. Join Extreme Sports Cafe in Morocco for your Surf Camp holiday experience.
Morocco officially the Kingdom of Morocco is a country located in North Africa with a population of nearly 34 million and an area just under 447,000 km2. The capital is Rabat, and the largest city is Casablanca. It has a coast on the Atlantic Ocean that reaches past the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. Agadir is one of the best surfing regions of Morocco and a well known winter surf destination for European surfers looking for winter sun within a 5hour flight of London.
The water is at 16/18'c for most of the year. Morocco is the land of the pointbreak, and the coastline around the Agadir area is riddled with surf spots. - October to March: wave sizes from 1m to 4.5m.
- April to May: wave sizes from 0.5m to 1.5m present Wind (good for kitesurf )
- June to September: summer wave sizes from 0.5 to 1m. Good period for the beginners.
- The Agadir region enjoys consistent, world class surfing conditions. All year round conditions are suitable for surfing.
For Beginner surfers we recommend the period from March to September when the waves have decreased and conditions are ideal to learn in. For the more experienced surfers we recommend the winter months from October to March. The waves are consistent and the swell is regular.

Moroccan cuisine has long been considered as one of the most diversified cuisines in the world. This is a result of the centuries-long interaction of Morocco with the outside world. The cuisine of Morocco is a mix of Berber, Spanish, Corsican, Portuguese, Moorish, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and African cuisines. The cuisine of Morocco has been influenced by the native Berber cuisine, the Arabic Andalusian cuisine brought by the Moriscos when they left Spain, the Turkish cuisine from the Turks and the Middle Eastern cuisines brought by the Arabs, as well as Jewish cuisine.

Morocco Notes
- Visa - Citizens of the European Community do not need a visa, but a valid passport is required.
- Morocco is by far one of the more liberal Islamic countries. They do allow the sale and consumption of alcohol, but it is strictly controlled, and expensive. Hotel bars and upscale restaurants will almost always serve alcohol.
- Muslims dress conservatively. This means both men and women usually cover their bodies completely. The exceptions are at the beach or doing heavy manual labor.
- Tourists who expose too much in town are likely to be viewed with disfavour, especially women. Don't offend the Moroccans with your clothes or lack thereof.
Morocco Money Notes
- The local currency is the Moroccan dirham (Dh or MAD), which is divided into 100 centimes (c). Approx 11 Dirhams to the Euro or 8 Dirhams to the U.S. dollar.
- We recommend you bring traveler's checks and a good ATM card.
- Only local currency is officially accepted in Morocco, although some hotels may accept your EUR/USD unofficially.
- EUR, USD or other currencies can be converted at most banks, but it's not wise to carry too much.
- ATMs can be found near tourist hotels and in the modern ville nouvelle shopping districts. Make sure that the ATM accepts foreign cards (look for the Maestro, Cirrus or Plus logos) before you put your card in.
