Surfing is about traveling, meeting new people, experiencing diverse cultures and most importantly, searching for the next swell. With each new location, our riding ability increases even though we don't realize it at that moment we are there. Our planet offers so many surfing opportunities and beautiful places that it would take one a lifetime to discover them all. Adrex.com brings you a new surf location with plenty of spots at one place. The West Coast of Morocco is a dream surfing destination with a year round Atlantic swell and a constantly changing shoreline of exposed and sheltered points, reefs and beach breaks.
Whether you're looking for reeling ten foot points, endless mellow six foot walls or the perfect wave to learn on, Morocco has it all. Morocco is famous for its long right hand point breaks; thoroughly consistent and generally uncrowned. One of the popular surfing breaks can be found north of Agadir, a major city in central coastal Morocco. The Taghazout region is full of them. Internationally renowned amongst travelers and surfers for its laid back pace, easygoing atmosphere and world class waves, Taghazout is a unique gem on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. The coastline has been on the hippy trail since the 60s and surfers have been riding the waves that peel down its legendary points ever since. It’s a Moroccan village like no other where local Berber life and surfing culture have combined to make a bustling, fun and charming place to kick back and relax with plenty of cool breaks.
