Tired of the grey skies, cold winds, and crowded lineups of the UK? Imagine trading your thick winter wetsuit for a thinner one, and swapping drizzle for over 300 days of glorious Moroccan sunshine. For many surfers in the UK, Morocco is not just a holiday destination—it’s the ultimate escape. At Morocco Surf & Stay, we’ve welcomed countless surfers from across the UK, and they all agree: the surf, the sun, and the culture here are a world away.
Here’s why a surf trip to Morocco is the perfect antidote to the UK’s long winters and a fantastic adventure year-round.

1. The Sunshine Cure: Warmth All Year Round

The most immediate benefit is the climate. While the UK shivers, the Agadir region of Morocco basks in sunshine.
  • Warm Weather: Even in the middle of winter (December to February), daytime temperatures are comfortably mild (often in the high teens or low 20s Celsius). This means you can wear a t-shirt on the terrace and soak up the vitamin D.

  • Warmer Water: You can leave the thick 5/4mm wetsuit at home! A 3/2mm wetsuit is generally all you’ll need for winter, and you can even get away with a spring suit or board shorts in the summer.

  • Consistent Waves: The winter season is when the North Atlantic pumps consistent, powerful swells, making it the best time for surfing. You get the best of both worlds: warm sun and epic waves.

2. Easy & Affordable Travel from the UK:

Getting to Morocco is far easier than you might think, and it’s a very budget-friendly destination compared to others.
  • Direct Flights: Numerous airlines offer direct, affordable flights from major UK airports like London Gatwick, London Stansted, and Manchester to Agadir’s Al Massira Airport (AGA). The flight time is just over three hours, so you can be on a board sooner than you think.

  • Affordability: Your pound goes a long way here. The cost of food, excursions, and daily life is significantly lower than in the UK, making a week-long surf holiday with all the trimmings incredibly accessible.

  • Hassle-Free Packages: Our all-inclusive packages handle everything from airport transfers to meals, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Whether you’re a seasoned surfer from Cornwall or a complete beginner from London, Morocco has a wave for you.
  • Beginner’s Paradise: Tamraght‘s coast offers countless sheltered beach breaks with gentle, rolling whitewater waves, perfect for learning and building confidence.

  • The Surfer’s Playground: Just a stone’s throw away is the legendary Taghazout Bay, home to famous point breaks like Anchor Point and Killer Point, which offer long, peeling rights that are the stuff of surfers’ dreams.

4. A Welcoming and Unique Cultural Experience:

Morocco offers more than just waves; it’s a total sensory immersion.
  • Friendly Atmosphere: You’ll be welcomed with genuine Moroccan hospitality and a relaxed, community vibe.

  • Delicious Food: Prepare for a culinary adventure with fresh tagines, couscous, and other healthy, authentic Moroccan dishes.

  • Cultural Immersion: Explore local souks, sip traditional mint tea, and take in the captivating scenery of the Atlas Mountains, all a short trip from our camp.

Leave the cold, the grey, and the expensive petrol prices behind. Your next surf adventure is just a short flight away, waiting for you with sunshine, perfect waves, and a warm welcome at Morocco Surf & Stay.
