Morocco Surf Kayak Camp, Taghazout, 2020
This Winter we will take a trip over to the North West Coast of Africa for a surf safari extravaganza in warm water on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Lefts, rights and point breaks in abundance. Spending a week on the Atlantic Coastline north of Agadir we will search out the best waves and breaks every day to suit your ability, often visiting two breaks a day to make best use of the tide states and conditions. Surf breaks that will be at your fingertips – Banana Point, Crocodiles, Devil’s Rock, Mysteries, Anchor Point etc. Check out Magicseaweed.com for pictures of the breaks. In previous years we have also visited Pointe d’Immsouane, which is the longest point break in North Africa, if not Europe. The surf venues will be chosen according to surf able conditions and the abilities of the paddlers, some breaks work some years and not in others. With air temperatures in the high twenties and water temperatures in the low twenties it is often possible to surf in a summer wetsuit or possibly even shorts. |
