Local Surf Guiding in Taghazout and Along Morocco’s Atlantic Coast

Surf with Sunset Waves Surf and discover suitable breaks along the coast from Agadir to Imsouane. We are based in Imi Ouaddar, approximately 7 km north of Taghazout. Your local guide, Mohamed Bahnini, has seven years of surfing and guiding experience and uses his knowledge of the coast to help you choose a spot for your ability and the day’s waves, wind and ocean conditions.

 

Before the session, Mohamed discusses your surfing experience and the kind of waves you want. He recommends suitable options, explains the conditions, and lets you choose from the practical spots available that day. A requested spot cannot be guaranteed: if it is unsafe or unsuitable, the plan may move to another break.

 

This service is for surfers who can swim and paddle out independently. Intermediate and advanced surfers are welcome. Experienced beginners may also join if they have surfed several times and can swim and paddle out. You do not need to be able to catch unbroken waves without help because Mohamed can help you with positioning and wave selection. Complete beginners should book a surf lesson instead.

How Your Surf-Guiding Session Works

  1. Choose your guiding option. Select a standard group, private or one-to-one session, or ask for a custom half-day, full-day or multi-day plan.
  2. Tell us about your surfing. Provide your full name and WhatsApp number, then describe your swimming ability, surfing experience, preferred board and the waves or spots you are interested in.
  3. Review the available spots. Mohamed checks the forecast and conditions, explains which locations between Agadir and Imsouane are suitable for your level, and discusses any spot you requested.
  4. Confirm the plan. Choose from the suitable options and receive the exact morning or afternoon time, meeting place, transportation details and price. Custom half-day and full-day details are confirmed at this stage.
  5. Prepare at the spot. Collect your surfboard and wetsuit, review the conditions, entry and exit, hazards and session plan, and follow the guide’s safety instructions.
  6. Surf with your guide. During a standard session, Mohamed normally enters the water with you for approximately 90 minutes and helps with positioning, wave selection and technique. The plan may differ for a professional surfer by prior agreement.
  7. Continue independently if you choose. After the guided part, you may surf for up to one additional hour. This time is independent and Mohamed will not remain in the water with you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Surf Guiding

Do I need to catch unbroken waves by myself?

No. If you can swim and paddle out, Mohamed can help with positioning and catching suitable waves during the guided part of the session.

Is surf guiding suitable for a complete beginner?

No. Complete beginners and non-swimmers should book a surf lesson. If you are unsure which service fits your level, contact SW Surf before booking.
