WEATHER & SURF
we are spoiled with waves all year round and with us, you’ll find waves all year round! especially for beginner surfers, there is always a beach break to surf.
the months november – february are known for some higher swells and therefore preferred by experienced surfers.
in september and october, april and may you find medium high waves, perfect for intermediate surfers. the summer months are known for smaller, but still super fun waves. we have a large selection of surf spots and therefore find suitable waves for every condition and surf level: when very small or very big swells hit the coast there are always waves to surf for your individual level.
and in case the waves are really too big or there are no waves at all, we offer alternatives (paradise valley, souk el had, skating…) or you just enjoy your free time to explore the local area.
check meteoblue.com (location tamraght ou fella) for a reliable weather forecast.

if surf conditions are not good, we offer alternative activities. you can visit souk el had in agadir, explore paradise valley or enjoy a surf skate lesson. and you can always book exciting add-ons or enjoy a unique hammam / massage experience at the spa house in tamraght. we also recommend a long walk along the beach and visit taghazout or just grab an amazing avocado smoothie in one of the village’s fruit juice bars and enjoy the breathtaking views and the local atmosphere.
EQUIPMENTS
we recommend a 3.2 wetsuit for autumn, winter and spring months and a shorty for summer months. if you are very sensitive to cold water, bring your own 4.3 wetsuit. we provide 3.2 wetsuits by “rip curl” and local brand “moors” for our guests.
we organize surf lessons according to the waves conditions and the tides – we want you to surf the best surf conditions. we adapt the surf lessons to the level of each person and guarantee a ratio of 6 guests per surf teacher. we usually do two sessions per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate surfer, our package includes soft boards and hard boards ranging from 7.6-8.2, perfectly suited for the wave conditions at intermediate levels. for those seeking an experienced surfing guiding experience, we offer performance boards such as short boards and long boards for rent at just 8€ per day.
