If you’ve ever dreamed of riding your first wave somewhere warm, scenic, and full of good vibes—Taghazout, Morocco should be at the top of your list.
This once-sleepy fishing village turned global surf hotspot is one of the best places in the world to learn how to surf. Here's why thousands of surf beginners, solo travelers, and groups choose Taghazout every year to catch their first wave.

Best beginner surf spots:
Panorama – Long, forgiving waves and sandy bottom
Banana Point – A fun, gentle point break that’s great for progression
Crocro Beach – Consistent waves and a laid-back surf scene
Whether it's your first time standing on a board or you’ve had a lesson or two, Taghazout has a wave that matches your level.
2. Daily Surf Lessons & Guided Surf Safaris
At Single Fin, we make learning to surf easy, fun, and safe. Our certified surf instructors take you to the best spot each day based on your skill level and the conditions. It’s called a surf safari, and it means you get the best possible waves every day.
What’s included:

You’ll not only learn how to surf—you’ll also gain confidence in the water and a deeper understanding of the ocean.
3. Warm Weather, Warmer Water
Taghazout’s mild climate means you can surf year-round, with water temperatures hovering between 18–22°C (64–72°F). Even in winter, the sun shines most days, and wetsuits are light.
Less chill = more fun in the water = faster progress.

Learning to surf can be tiring, which is why balance is key. In Taghazout, you can:
Relax on rooftop terraces with mountain + sea views
Join yoga sessions to stretch and reset
