About Family Surf Camp in Morocco

A family camp is built around the fact that the surfing is not the constraint — the childcare, the meal times and the length of a session a nine-year-old will tolerate are.

The practical markers are minimum ages for lessons, whether there are separate kids' groups, flexible meal times, family rooms rather than dorms, and something to do for children who are not in the water. Morocco suits families because the beach breaks are sandy and gentle at the right tide, and because the whole coast is cheap enough that a week does not have to be rationed.

Ask about the beach itself as much as the surfing. Shade, walking distance from the accommodation, and how far the vehicle drop-off is from the water matter more with small children than the quality of the peak.

Who it suits

Parents who surf and want their children to, families with a wide age range, and anyone who needs the week to work for people who will not be in the water.

What to check before you book

  • Coached hours per day, and how many people per instructor. Above eight to one you are being supervised rather than taught.
  • What the room actually is. A dormitory bed and a private double are often quoted under one headline price.
  • Which meals are included, and what happens on the days nobody drives to a spot.
  • Whether transfers from the airport and to the surf are in the price or added later.
  • The cancellation policy in writing, and what it says about weather.

Where to find this in Morocco

The coast this marketplace covers runs from Mehdia in the north to Sidi Ifni in the south. These are the places to start looking:

  • Taghazout — The village that turned Moroccan surfing into an industry
  • Tamraght — Quieter than Taghazout, and where most first lessons actually happen
  • Agadir — Where you land, and a long city beach that works when the coast is huge
  • Imsouane — The longest, gentlest wave in Morocco
  • Essaouira — Wind city — a walled medina with world-class kite and windsurf
