ZOCO SURFING ADVENTURES

SURFING HOLIDAYS IN MOROCCO (NORTHERN AFRICA)

المملكة المغربية Al-Mamlaka al-Maghribiyya

The Kingdom of Morocco, is a country in North Africa with a population of 33,241,259. It has a long coast on the Atlantic Ocean that reaches past the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. Morocco has international borders with Algeria to the east, Spain to the north (a water border through the Strait and land borders with two small Spanish exclaves, Ceuta and Melilla), and Western Sahara or Mauritania to the south.

Although technically part of another continent, Morocco has been part of the European surfers' season since the 1970's. Now one of surfing's ultimate winter destinations, the line-ups from Agadir to Safi are a vibrant mix of surfers from all over Europe with a few Ozzies, South Africans and Americans thrown in for good measure.

SURFING HOLIDAYS IN MOROCCO

Whatever you call it (see below), Morocco is the ultimate winter getaway for European surfers following the sun.

The right hand point breaks in Morocco have to be seen to be believed. We all know that as surfers we tend to exaggerate (a little) when relating our surf adventures but this is one country where there is no need for exaggeration, there are endless walling, tubing, spitting right handers that fire for weeks at a time and deliver some of the longest rides and tubes imaginable. The coastline around the Agadir area is riddled with spots. If you are struggling to get waves in a crowded lineup move a few hundred feet up or down the coast and you'll find good quality empty waves. If you don't find an empty, good quality wave to surf here, you are either blind or lazy or both.
