About Intermediate Surf Camp in Morocco
The intermediate camp is for the stage that is hardest to book well: you can catch unbroken waves and ride them along, but you are not reliably turning, reading a peak or getting out the back in size.
The difference from a beginner week is where you surf and what is discussed. Sessions move to the smaller points and better sandbars, the coaching turns to positioning and wave selection rather than standing up, and video review becomes the core of the day rather than an extra. The number of waves caught matters less than which ones.
Morocco is unusually good for this stage because the long right-hand points give a rideable wall for hundreds of metres — plenty of time to try a turn, fail, and try again on the same wave. Check the camp actually surfs those spots rather than keeping every group on the beach breaks.
Who it suits
Surfers who can stand up consistently but are stuck going straight, self-taught surfers wanting structure, and anyone returning after a first camp elsewhere.
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
